B2 Ni₂Nb₂ is an intermetallic compound based on the nickel-niobium system, classified as a semiconductor with a B2 (CsCl-type) ordered crystal structure. This is primarily a research material rather than a commercial alloy, studied for its potential in high-temperature structural applications where the combination of nickel and refractory niobium offers interesting mechanical properties. The compound belongs to the broader family of nickel-niobium intermetallics, which are investigated as candidates for advanced aerospace and extreme-environment applications where conventional superalloys may reach their limits.
