HoB3Mo is a refractory metal boride compound combining holmium, boron, and molybdenum, belonging to the family of advanced ceramic-metallic composites. This material is primarily of research interest for ultra-high-temperature applications where conventional superalloys reach their limits, with potential use in aerospace propulsion systems, nuclear reactors, and extreme-environment thermal protection. The addition of molybdenum to holmium boride aims to improve fracture toughness and oxidation resistance compared to monolithic boride ceramics, making it a candidate for next-generation high-entropy or complex boride systems.
