· YFe2

YFe2 is an intermetallic compound in the rare-earth iron family, where yttrium combines with iron in a 1:2 stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the Laves phase compound group and is primarily investigated for advanced magnetic and high-temperature applications due to its crystalline structure and metal-ceramic hybrid characteristics. Industrial adoption remains limited, with most applications concentrated in research contexts for permanent magnets, magnetocaloric devices, and high-temperature structural components where the rare-earth iron chemistry offers tailored magnetic properties or thermal stability beyond conventional ferrous 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.
