Mg₂BeNb is an intermetallic compound combining magnesium, beryllium, and niobium. This is a research-stage material studied primarily for lightweight structural applications where the combination of low density with refractory metal strengthening (niobium) offers potential advantages over conventional magnesium alloys. The material belongs to the family of advanced intermetallics being explored for aerospace and high-temperature applications, though it remains largely in development rather than established production use.
