Ti2Au is an intermetallic compound composed of titanium and gold, forming part of the Ti–Au binary phase diagram. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity engineering material, with applications driven by the unique combination of titanium's strength-to-weight ratio and gold's biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and radiopacity. It has potential use in high-performance biomedical devices, aerospace components requiring gold coating adhesion, and dental/orthopedic applications where both mechanical strength and biological tolerance are critical; however, its high material cost and complex processing limit broader adoption compared to conventional titanium alloys or gold coatings.
