TbPt

TbPt is an intermetallic compound combining terbium (a rare earth element) with platinum, forming a binary metallic phase with potential for high-performance applications requiring exceptional hardness, thermal stability, or magnetic properties. This material exists primarily in research and experimental contexts rather than widespread industrial production, where it is investigated for applications demanding the unique combination of rare earth magnetism with platinum's corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. TbPt represents the broader class of rare earth–platinum intermetallics, which are of interest in advanced aerospace, permanent magnet, and specialized electronic device development where cost can be justified by performance gains.
