ZrV2 is an intermetallic compound combining zirconium and vanadium, belonging to the Laves phase family of hard, brittle metals. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than established in high-volume production; it is investigated for potential use in high-temperature structural applications and wear-resistant coatings where the combination of a refractory element (Zr) and transition metal (V) offers potential for improved thermal stability and hardness. Engineers consider ZrV2 in specialized contexts where conventional alloys reach their performance limits, though its brittleness and limited commercial availability make it suitable mainly for niche aerospace, nuclear, or advanced manufacturing research rather than mainstream industrial deployment.
