· 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.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
