· JVASP-35969· LuCoC2

LuCoC2 is a rare-earth cobalt carbide intermetallic compound combining lutetium, cobalt, and carbon in a defined stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of ternary transition metal carbides, which are typically investigated for their potential as hard, refractory phases in high-temperature and wear-resistant applications. LuCoC2 remains largely a research-phase material; compounds in this family are explored for cutting tool inserts, wear-resistant coatings, and high-temperature structural applications where conventional cemented carbides reach their performance limits, though industrial adoption of lutetium-based variants is limited by raw material cost and processing complexity compared to more established carbide systems.

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.
