ZnAu4 is an intermetallic compound composed of zinc and gold in a 1:4 atomic ratio, belonging to the family of gold-based intermetallics. This material is primarily encountered in jewelry metallurgy, dental applications, and electronics interconnection, where its high density and gold content provide corrosion resistance and aesthetic properties. ZnAu4 is notable for its use in specialized brazing alloys and as a constituent phase in gold-zinc master alloys, though it remains less common than simpler binary gold alloys due to its brittle intermetallic nature and processing complexity.
