· JVASP-143662· Mg13Al16

Mg13Al16 is an intermetallic compound in the magnesium-aluminum system, representing a stoichiometric phase that combines the lightweight characteristics of magnesium with aluminum's strength and oxidation resistance. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than a widely established commercial alloy, studied for potential applications where ultra-low density combined with ceramic-like hardness could offer advantages over conventional cast or wrought alloys. Engineers would consider this compound for specialized high-temperature applications or aerospace components where weight reduction is critical, though processing challenges and brittleness typical of intermetallics have limited its adoption compared to more ductile Mg-Al casting 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.
