Zn10Fe3 is an intermetallic compound in the zinc-iron system, consisting of approximately 10 parts zinc and 3 parts iron by atomic ratio. This brittle phase appears primarily in research and metallurgical contexts rather than as a standalone engineering material, typically forming as a constituent in zinc-iron coatings, galvanized steel systems, or specialized alloy development. The material is notable for its role in understanding phase formation during hot-dip galvanizing and thermal processing of iron-zinc systems, where controlling intermetallic growth directly affects coating performance and adhesion.
