Y2Au is an intermetallic compound composed of yttrium and gold, belonging to the rare-earth metal intermetallic family. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity engineering material, with applications driven by its unique electronic, thermal, and chemical properties inherent to gold-based intermetallics. Y2Au and related yttrium-gold phases are investigated for advanced electronics, catalysis, and high-temperature coating systems where the combination of rare-earth and noble-metal characteristics offers potential advantages in corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and specialized functional properties.
