Co₄B is a cobalt-boron intermetallic compound that belongs to the family of transition metal borides, which are known for high hardness and thermal stability. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than established industrial production, with potential applications in hard coatings, wear-resistant surfaces, and high-temperature structural applications where cobalt's strength and boron's hardening effects are leveraged together.
