Zr3Ni is an intermetallic compound in the zirconium-nickel binary system, characterized by an ordered crystalline structure that combines the corrosion resistance of zirconium with the strength contributions of nickel. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, used in applications requiring high corrosion resistance, thermal stability, or hydrogen storage properties; it appears most prominently in hydrogen storage research, nuclear reactor materials studies, and advanced coating applications where the intermetallic phase provides superior oxidation resistance compared to conventional zirconium alloys.
