Al3Fe
metal· JVASP-37941· Al3Fe
Al₃Fe is an intermetallic compound formed between aluminum and iron, belonging to the family of aluminum-iron phases commonly encountered in aluminum alloys and cast structures. This brittle, high-density intermetallic phase typically appears as a secondary constituent in commercial aluminum alloys rather than as a standalone engineering material, where it influences overall alloy strength and wear resistance. Engineers encounter Al₃Fe primarily in cast aluminum components and wear-resistant coatings, where its high hardness is valued despite limited ductility; it is also of interest in composite reinforcement and additive manufacturing research as a strengthening phase in aluminum matrix composites.

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.
