Lu₁Al₃ is an intermetallic compound formed from lutetium and aluminum, belonging to the family of rare-earth–aluminum intermetallics. This material is primarily of research and academic interest rather than established industrial production, with potential applications in high-temperature structural materials and functional compounds where the unique properties of lutetium—including high density and thermal stability—can be leveraged alongside aluminum's lightness and workability.
