LuIr is an intermetallic ceramic compound composed of lutetium and iridium, representing a high-density material in the refractory intermetallic family. This is a research-stage material studied primarily for extreme-environment applications where both high melting point and chemical stability are critical. LuIr and related lanthanide-transition metal intermetallics are of particular interest for aerospace and high-temperature structural applications where conventional superalloys reach their limits, though commercial adoption remains limited pending further development of processing methods and cost reduction.
