· JVASP-59710· YbNiB4

YbNiB4 is an intermetallic compound combining ytterbium, nickel, and boron, belonging to the rare-earth metal boride family. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established in high-volume industrial production, with potential applications in high-temperature structural materials and magnetic systems where rare-earth intermetallics offer unique electronic or thermal properties. Engineers would consider this compound in advanced applications requiring tailored combinations of hardness, thermal stability, or electromagnetic response, though material availability and cost typically limit adoption to specialized aerospace, defense, or electronics contexts.

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.
