VNi₂ is an intermetallic compound combining vanadium and nickel, belonging to the transition metal intermetallic family. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than widespread commercial use, with potential applications in high-temperature structural materials and wear-resistant coatings where the combination of refractory metal (vanadium) and binding metal (nickel) offers enhanced stiffness and density. Engineers would consider VNi₂ in specialized aerospace, automotive, or tooling contexts where conventional alloys reach performance limits, though practical adoption depends on cost, manufacturability, and reproducibility relative to established alternatives like titanium aluminides or nickel-based superalloys.
