UFeCo is a uranium-iron-cobalt ternary alloy that combines the density and nuclear properties of uranium with the ferromagnetic and hardening contributions of iron and cobalt. This material belongs to the family of uranium-based metallic compounds historically developed for specialized applications where high density, magnetic response, and radiation performance are simultaneously required. UFeCo is found primarily in nuclear applications, radiation shielding, and defense-related systems where its unique combination of mass per unit volume and material properties provide advantages over conventional alternatives.
