· Al11(CuNi2)3

Al11(CuNi2)3 is an aluminum-based intermetallic compound containing copper and nickel, belonging to the family of complex metallic alloys (CMAs) or quasicrystalline-related phases. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than established in high-volume production, with potential applications in high-temperature structural use and wear-resistant coatings where its intermetallic strengthening and phase stability could provide advantages over conventional aluminum alloys. Its notable appeal lies in combining aluminum's light weight with copper and nickel's high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, though processing and brittleness challenges typical of intermetallics have limited its adoption compared to more conventional aerospace and automotive alloys.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
