· JVASP-39162· ScCu3

ScCu3 is an intermetallic compound composed of scandium and copper, representing a rare-earth metal alloy system studied primarily in materials research rather than high-volume commercial production. This compound belongs to the family of scandium-copper intermetallics, which are investigated for potential applications requiring combinations of light weight, high stiffness, and thermal properties not readily available in conventional alloys. ScCu3 remains largely experimental; its development is driven by interest in advanced aerospace and high-performance applications where scandium's lightweight character and copper's thermal conductivity can be leveraged, though manufacturing complexity and raw material costs have limited practical deployment.

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.
