C3 Al4
metal· C3 Al4
C3 Al4 is an intermetallic compound in the aluminum-carbon system, likely an aluminum carbide variant or related phase. This material belongs to the family of ceramic-metallic compounds that combine aluminum's light weight with enhanced hardness and wear resistance from carbon bonding. It is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity material, with potential applications in wear-resistant coatings, high-temperature composites, and cutting tool materials where the combination of low density and ceramic hardness is advantageous.

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.
