LuNi2B2C
metal· JVASP-15682· LuNi2B2C
LuNi₂B₂C is a ternary borocarbide intermetallic compound combining lutetium, nickel, boron, and carbon in a layered crystal structure. This material belongs to the rare-earth borocarbide family, which has attracted research interest for its potential superconducting and hardening properties at specific compositions and temperatures. Industrial deployment remains limited; the material is primarily investigated in academic and materials science research settings for understanding superconductivity mechanisms, high-temperature structural applications, and wear-resistant coatings, though manufacturing complexity and cost limit widespread adoption compared to conventional engineering alloys.
