Th7Ru3 is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining thorium and ruthenium in a 7:3 stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of refractory intermetallics and is primarily of research interest rather than established industrial production. The thorium-ruthenium system is investigated for potential high-temperature applications where extreme thermal stability and oxidation resistance are sought, though practical adoption remains limited due to thorium's radioactivity constraints, processing difficulty, and the relative scarcity of established manufacturing routes compared to conventional refractory ceramics and superalloys.
