Nb3Si is an intermetallic compound in the niobium-silicon system, belonging to the family of refractory intermetallics. It is primarily of research and development interest as a potential high-temperature structural material, offering the combination of low density and ceramic-like stiffness needed for extreme thermal environments where traditional superalloys reach their limits.
