· JVASP-78268· IrC

Iridium carbide (IrC) is a ceramic compound combining iridium metal with carbon, belonging to the refractory carbide family. It is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest due to its exceptional hardness and resistance to extreme temperatures and chemical attack. Applications include high-temperature structural components, wear-resistant coatings, and cutting tool materials where conventional ceramics would fail, though its use remains limited compared to more established carbides like tungsten carbide or titanium carbide due to cost and processing challenges.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

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.
