TiHg is an intermetallic compound formed from titanium and mercury, belonging to the family of transition metal–mercury systems. This material exists primarily as a research and specialized industrial compound rather than a commodity alloy; it combines titanium's strength and corrosion resistance with mercury's unique physical properties, resulting in a dense metallic phase with potential applications in high-density or specialized electromagnetic contexts. The titanium-mercury system has seen limited but targeted use in precision instruments, certain dental amalgam formulations, and experimental applications requiring dense, non-magnetic metallic phases.
