Er₁Co₃B₂ is an intermetallic compound combining erbium, cobalt, and boron, belonging to the rare-earth transition metal boride family. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established industrial production, investigated for its potential in high-performance applications where magnetic properties, thermal stability, or hardness from the boride phase may be beneficial. The erbium-cobalt-boron system represents an emerging materials class for applications requiring combinations of magnetic ordering, mechanical stiffness, and rare-earth functionalization.
