· JVASP-20403· LuNi2

LuNi2 is an intermetallic compound composed of lutetium and nickel, belonging to the rare-earth intermetallic family. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than established in high-volume industrial production, with applications centered on fundamental studies of magnetic properties, hydrogen storage mechanisms, and advanced metallurgical research. Engineers and materials scientists consider LuNi2 for specialized applications requiring the unique combinations of properties inherent to rare-earth nickel compounds, such as hydrogen absorption capability and magnetic behavior, though commercial adoption remains limited compared to more conventional alloys.

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.
