· JVASP-23781· CeReB4

CeReB₄ is a cerium-rhenium boride ceramic compound belonging to the hexaboride family of refractory materials. This is a research-grade ceramic of interest for high-temperature structural applications where exceptional hardness and thermal stability are required. The material combines the refractory properties of rhenium borides with cerium's contribution to density and potential wear resistance, making it a candidate for extreme-environment engineering contexts where conventional ceramics fall short.
