· JVASP-61049· CaNi12B6

CaNi12B6 is an intermetallic compound belonging to the calcium-nickel-boron system, representing a research-phase material rather than a commercially established alloy. This ternary compound is investigated for its potential in high-temperature structural applications and functional materials, where the intermetallic matrix offers potential advantages in strength and thermal stability compared to conventional nickel-based superalloys. The material remains primarily in experimental development, with interest driven by the lightweight calcium-nickel combination and boron's role in enhancing intermetallic bonding; adoption depends on demonstrating cost-effectiveness and processability improvements over matured alternatives.

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.
