MgZn2Au

MgZn2Au is an intermetallic compound combining magnesium, zinc, and gold—a ternary metal system that bridges lightweight magnesium alloys with gold's chemical stability and electronic properties. This material remains largely a research compound rather than a widely commercialized engineering alloy; it represents exploration into magnesium-based systems for applications where corrosion resistance, specific strength, or electronic functionality are priorities. The inclusion of gold makes this compound particularly relevant to materials research in biocompatibility, electronic contacts, or specialized aerospace applications where traditional Mg-Zn alloys fall short.
