MgSnAu is a ternary intermetallic compound combining magnesium, tin, and gold—a research-phase material that sits at the intersection of lightweight metallurgy and precious metal chemistry. This alloy family is primarily investigated for advanced applications requiring the combination of magnesium's low density with tin's stability and gold's corrosion resistance, though it remains largely outside conventional industrial production. Engineers would consider this material only in specialized research contexts or high-value applications where its unique phase chemistry and density characteristics justify significant material and processing costs.
