CaB11 is a calcium boride ceramic compound belonging to the boron-rich ceramic family, characterized by strong covalent bonding and high hardness. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for applications requiring exceptional wear resistance, thermal stability, and chemical inertness, with potential use in advanced abrasive applications, high-temperature structural components, and neutron shielding—though industrial adoption remains limited compared to established ceramics like alumina or silicon carbide.
