ceramic· B2 O6 Sc2
Scandium borate (Sc₂B₆O₆) is a ceramic compound combining scandium oxide with boric oxide, belonging to the rare-earth borate family of materials. This compound is primarily of research and developmental interest, studied for its potential in high-temperature structural applications and optical systems where scandium's high melting point and borate glass-forming properties offer thermal stability and transparency in specialized wavelength ranges. Scandium borates are notably explored as alternatives to conventional silicate ceramics in demanding environments requiring corrosion resistance and thermal shock tolerance, though industrial adoption remains limited compared to established oxide or carbide ceramics.
