Mg6NiB is an intermetallic compound combining magnesium, nickel, and boron, belonging to the family of lightweight metal-based intermetallics. This material remains primarily in the research domain, investigated for applications requiring the combination of magnesium's low density with improved hardness and wear resistance from nickel and boron additions. Potential interest lies in aerospace and automotive sectors seeking lightweight structural or wear-resistant components, though commercial adoption is limited and material behavior under service conditions requires further development compared to established Mg alloys.
