Al₃B is an intermetallic compound in the aluminum-boron system, representing a metal matrix reinforced or modified by boron content. This material belongs to the family of aluminum-based intermetallics that combine lightweight characteristics of aluminum with enhanced hardness and stiffness from boron phases. Al₃B and related aluminum-boron compounds are primarily investigated in research and specialty applications rather than high-volume production, with interest focused on composite reinforcement, wear-resistant coatings, and high-temperature structural applications where improved strength-to-weight ratios are critical.
