· JVASP-100627· SmCr2Si2C

SmCr2Si2C is a ternary intermetallic compound combining samarium, chromium, silicon, and carbon—a rare-earth transition metal silicide carbide belonging to the MAX phase or Heusler-type alloy family. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established industrial production, studied for its potential combination of metallic conductivity and ceramic-like hardness in high-temperature and wear-resistant applications. The incorporation of rare-earth elements (samarium) distinguishes it from conventional silicide ceramics, offering potential advantages in oxidation resistance and thermal stability, though practical applications remain under investigation.

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.
