AlCdSn
metal· JVASP-156408· AlCdSn
AlCdSn is a ternary aluminum alloy incorporating cadmium and tin as primary alloying elements. This material belongs to the family of specialized aluminum casting and bearing alloys, historically used where specific combinations of castability, wear resistance, and low-friction properties were required. AlCdSn has seen limited modern use due to cadmium's toxicity and environmental restrictions in most jurisdictions, though it remains documented in legacy applications and materials archives; engineers considering this composition should evaluate contemporary cadmium-free alternatives that offer similar bearing or wear-resistant properties.

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.
