HoCo12B6
metal· JVASP-133161· HoCo12B6
HoCo12B6 is a holmium-cobalt boride intermetallic compound that combines a rare-earth element with transition metals in a ceramic-metallic matrix. This material belongs to the rare-earth boride family and is primarily of research interest, with potential applications in high-temperature structural components and hard-facing materials where exceptional hardness and thermal stability are valued. While not yet widely deployed in mainstream industrial production, materials in this compositional family are investigated for applications requiring extreme wear resistance and elevated-temperature performance beyond conventional alloys.
