Mg41Sm5

Mg41Sm5 is an intermetallic ceramic compound in the magnesium-samarium system, representing a research-phase material combining a lightweight metallic element (magnesium) with a rare-earth element (samarium) to achieve enhanced high-temperature performance. This material family is investigated primarily for applications demanding thermal stability and reduced density at elevated temperatures, with particular interest in aerospace and automotive sectors where weight reduction and thermal resistance are critical design drivers. Mg41Sm5 remains largely in the experimental/characterization phase, and engineers should consult recent materials science literature to assess whether specific thermal, mechanical, or creep-resistance properties match project requirements compared to established alternatives like nickel superalloys or advanced ceramics.
