Ho₂B₄C is a rare-earth boron carbide ceramic compound combining holmium with boron and carbon phases. This is a research-phase material within the family of rare-earth borocarbides, which are being investigated for high-temperature structural applications where conventional ceramics reach their thermal or chemical limits. The material's potential lies in extreme-environment engineering where the combination of rare-earth stability and boron carbide's hardness could provide advantages in refractory applications, though industrial production and standardized applications remain limited.
