· Y2 Cr2 C3

Y2Cr2C3 is a rare-earth chromium carbide ceramic compound that combines yttrium and chromium carbide phases, belonging to the family of high-hardness refractory carbides. This material is primarily explored in research contexts as a potential reinforcement phase or wear-resistant component, leveraging the hardness of carbide ceramics with the toughening potential offered by rare-earth dopants. Industrial adoption remains limited compared to established alternatives like WC-Co or Cr3C2, but Y2Cr2C3 is of interest for applications demanding extreme hardness at elevated temperatures or superior oxidation resistance in specialized cutting, grinding, or structural applications.

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.
