ZrTaBe is a ternary intermetallic compound combining zirconium, tantalum, and beryllium—a research-stage material system rather than an established commercial alloy. This material family is investigated for high-temperature and high-strength applications where the combination of refractory metals (Zr, Ta) and lightweight beryllium offers potential for improved specific stiffness and thermal performance. Due to its experimental nature and the toxicity hazards associated with beryllium processing, adoption remains limited to advanced research programs and defense/aerospace development rather than mainstream engineering practice.
