TmCo2B2C
metal· JVASP-93729· TmCo2B2C
TmCo2B2C is a rare-earth cobalt borocarbide intermetallic compound that combines thulium, cobalt, boron, and carbon into a dense metallic matrix. This material belongs to the family of hard intermetallic borocarbides, which are primarily of research and development interest rather than established industrial production. The compound is investigated for potential applications requiring high stiffness, wear resistance, and thermal stability, though it remains largely in the experimental phase; engineers would consider it only for specialized high-performance applications where conventional hardened steels or tungsten carbides are insufficient and where material brittleness can be engineered around.

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.
