MoRu3

MoRu3 is an intermetallic compound combining molybdenum and ruthenium in a 1:3 stoichiometric ratio, belonging to the refractory metal alloy family. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than established production use, with potential applications in high-temperature structural applications and catalysis where the combined properties of both transition metals—including thermal stability and chemical resistance—could offer advantages over conventional superalloys. Engineers would consider MoRu3 for extreme-environment applications requiring materials that maintain strength at elevated temperatures or for specialized catalytic processes, though material availability and cost relative to performance remain significant engineering trade-offs.
