Ta2NbIr is a ternary refractory metal alloy combining tantalum, niobium, and iridium—three elements prized for their exceptional high-temperature stability and corrosion resistance. This composition represents a research-stage material in the family of high-entropy and multicomponent refractory alloys, designed to maintain strength and oxidation resistance at extreme temperatures well beyond conventional superalloys. While not yet widely deployed in production, Ta2NbIr targets applications where standard nickel-based superalloys fail, particularly in aerospace propulsion, thermal protection systems, and advanced energy conversion where material stability above 1600 °C becomes critical.
