· JVASP-108970· VAsRu

VAsRu is a vanadium-ruthenium alloy combining a refractory transition metal (vanadium) with a precious refractory metal (ruthenium). This material family is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, valued for high-temperature stability, corrosion resistance, and potential catalytic properties where the combination of vanadium's redox activity and ruthenium's catalytic strength offers unique performance. Applications are concentrated in high-temperature engineering, chemical processing, and catalysis research rather than mainstream structural use. Engineers would consider VAsRu where conventional stainless steels or nickel-based superalloys reach their limits—particularly in corrosive chemical environments, catalytic reactors, or extreme-temperature settings where the synergistic properties of vanadium and ruthenium justify the material cost and processing complexity.

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.
