PaW3

PaW3 is a tungsten-based intermetallic compound or refractory metal alloy, likely containing palladium and tungsten as primary constituents. This material belongs to the family of high-density refractory metals and is of primary interest in research and specialized industrial applications requiring extreme hardness, high melting point, and corrosion resistance. PaW3 would be evaluated for use cases where conventional steels or nickel-based superalloys fall short thermally or chemically, though it remains relatively uncommon in mainstream production due to cost, brittleness, and machining difficulty typical of intermetallic compounds.
