ZrSi is an intermetallic compound combining zirconium and silicon, belonging to the family of refractory metal silicides. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, valued for applications requiring high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and dimensional stability in extreme environments. ZrSi and related zirconium silicides are explored for aerospace, nuclear, and high-temperature structural applications where conventional alloys reach their thermal limits, though commercial adoption remains limited compared to established superalloys and ceramics.
