VGaFeCo
metal· JVASP-79604· VGaFeCo
VGaFeCo is a quaternary high-entropy alloy (HEA) or multi-principal element alloy combining vanadium, gallium, iron, and cobalt in roughly equal atomic proportions. This material represents an emerging class of engineered metallic systems designed to achieve unique combinations of strength, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance through compositional complexity rather than traditional binary or ternary alloying. While primarily in the research and development phase, VGaFeCo is of interest for applications requiring elevated-temperature performance and tailored magnetic or mechanical properties where conventional superalloys or stainless steels reach performance limits.

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.
