· JVASP-94147· Mg6CoSb

Mg6CoSb is an intermetallic compound based on magnesium with cobalt and antimony additions, belonging to the family of Heusler-type alloys. This material is primarily of research interest for thermoelectric applications, where the combination of elements is engineered to optimize the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity for heat-to-electricity conversion. Engineers consider magnesium-based intermetallics when seeking lightweight thermoelectric materials for waste-heat recovery or power generation in automotive and aerospace contexts, though this specific composition remains largely in development rather than widespread industrial deployment.

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.
