LuB₄ is a lutetium tetraboride ceramic compound belonging to the rare-earth boride family, known for exceptional hardness and high-temperature stability. This material is primarily investigated in research and advanced applications requiring extreme wear resistance and thermal performance, such as cutting tools, wear-resistant coatings, and high-temperature structural components. LuB₄ offers superior hardness and melting point compared to conventional ceramics, making it a candidate for next-generation applications where cost-effective alternatives cannot meet thermal and mechanical demands.
