ErB₂Ru is a ternary ceramic compound combining erbium, boron, and ruthenium—a research-phase material belonging to the family of hexaborides and transition-metal borides. This dense ceramic exhibits characteristics typical of high-melting-point boride systems and is primarily investigated for extreme-environment applications where conventional ceramics reach their thermal or chemical limits. The material remains largely experimental, with development focused on aerospace, nuclear, and high-temperature structural applications where its refractory properties and metallic-ceramic hybrid behavior may offer advantages over single-phase borides or traditional superalloys.
