· JVASP-106826· Cr3NiB6

Cr3NiB6 is a chromium-nickel boride intermetallic compound that combines hard boride phases with metallic bonding characteristics, positioning it in the family of refractory metal borides. This material is primarily investigated for wear-resistant and high-temperature applications where extreme hardness and thermal stability are critical, such as cutting tool coatings, armor systems, and specialized bearing surfaces. Its appeal over conventional alternatives lies in its potential for superior hardness-to-density ratios and thermal oxidation resistance, though it remains largely in the research and development phase for commercial deployment.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
