B3Mo is a molybdenum-boron intermetallic compound that belongs to the refractory metal family, characterized by high hardness and thermal stability. While primarily of research and development interest rather than established commercial production, this material is being investigated for applications requiring exceptional hardness and resistance to thermal shock, positioning it within the broader family of advanced intermetallics explored for extreme-environment engineering. Its notable advantage over conventional molybdenum alloys and carbide ceramics lies in its potential for high-temperature performance combined with metallic toughness, making it a candidate for specialized aerospace and industrial tooling applications where thermal cycling and mechanical stress coincide.
