CuBN2 is a copper-boron nitride composite or intermetallic compound that combines metallic copper with boron nitride phases, representing an emerging engineered material in the hard materials family. This material is primarily explored in research and specialized industrial contexts where enhanced hardness, thermal stability, and wear resistance are required beyond what conventional copper alloys can provide. CuBN2 is notable for its potential in cutting tool applications, wear-resistant coatings, and high-temperature structural components, though it remains less common than established alternatives like tungsten carbide or cubic boron nitride monoliths.
