LuFe2B2 is an intermetallic compound combining lutetium, iron, and boron—a rare-earth iron boride belonging to the family of hard, refractory materials. This is primarily a research material studied for its potential in high-hardness and high-temperature applications, rather than a widely commercialized engineering alloy. The lutetium-iron-boron system is of interest for specialized applications requiring extreme hardness, thermal stability, or magnetic properties, though industrial adoption remains limited.
