YbNi5
metal· JVASP-14997· YbNi5
YbNi5 is an intermetallic compound composed of ytterbium and nickel, belonging to the rare-earth intermetallic family. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity engineering material, with applications leveraging its unique magnetic and thermal properties derived from rare-earth elements. Notable uses include magnetocaloric devices, cryogenic applications, and advanced functional materials where the combination of rare-earth character and nickel-based metallurgy provides performance advantages over conventional alloys.

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.
