· JVASP-104761· AlSiCN

AlSiCN is a quaternary ceramic-metal composite material combining aluminum, silicon, carbon, and nitrogen phases, typically synthesized as a hard coating or bulk ceramic composite rather than a conventional alloy. It is primarily used in cutting tools, wear-resistant coatings, and high-temperature structural applications where superior hardness and thermal stability are required. This material family is notable for combining metallic toughness with ceramic hardness, making it an attractive alternative to monolithic ceramics or single-phase coatings in demanding manufacturing and aerospace environments.

Export Control

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.
