· JVASP-32135· LuMg16Al12

LuMg16Al12 is a ternary intermetallic compound combining lutetium, magnesium, and aluminum, representing a rare-earth-containing lightweight alloy system. This material belongs to the family of rare-earth magnesium-aluminum compounds, primarily explored in research contexts for structural applications requiring exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and thermal stability. The incorporation of lutetium—one of the densest rare earths—provides enhanced mechanical properties and creep resistance compared to conventional Mg-Al alloys, making it relevant for aerospace and high-temperature engineering applications where weight savings and performance under thermal stress are critical.
