· YMg4Cu

YMg4Cu is a ternary intermetallic compound combining yttrium, magnesium, and copper—a rare-earth magnesium-based alloy composition that falls into the category of lightweight metallic materials with potential for high-strength applications. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than widely established in production; it belongs to the family of rare-earth magnesium alloys that are investigated for aerospace, automotive, and structural applications where weight reduction and strength are critical. The yttrium addition to magnesium-copper systems is explored for potential strengthening mechanisms and thermal stability improvements compared to conventional Mg alloys, though industrial adoption remains limited.

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.
