UAu2 is an intermetallic compound consisting of uranium and gold in a 1:2 atomic ratio, belonging to the class of uranium-based metallic compounds. This material exhibits significant density and elastic stiffness, making it relevant for specialized applications where high mass density and structural rigidity are simultaneously required. As an uranium-containing intermetallic, UAu2 is primarily of research and development interest rather than established commercial use, with potential applications in advanced nuclear fuel systems, high-density shielding materials, or specialized aerospace components where its unique property combination offers advantages over conventional alternatives.
