· JVASP-146518· MgAlMoS4

MgAlMoS4 is an experimental magnesium-aluminum-molybdenum sulfide compound that combines lightweight magnesium with molybdenum's high-temperature and wear-resistance properties. While primarily a research material rather than a commercial alloy, compounds in this family are investigated for applications requiring lightweight structures with enhanced tribological performance, particularly where magnesium's low density must be paired with improved surface protection or solid-lubrication characteristics. Its position between traditional Mg alloys and molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) solid lubricants makes it of interest in aerospace and mechanical engineering contexts where weight savings and self-lubricating behavior could provide simultaneous benefits.

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.
