· JVASP-130653· Li8Al

Li8Al is an intermetallic compound in the lithium-aluminum system, representing a specific stoichiometric phase that combines the low density of lithium with aluminum's structural properties. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than established production use, being studied for lightweight structural applications where extreme low density is critical. Li8Al and related Li-Al phases are investigated for aerospace components, battery materials research, and advanced lightweight engineering applications, though practical implementation remains limited due to challenges in processing, stability, and cost compared to conventional aluminum alloys.

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.
