Nb₁B₁W₁ is an experimental intermetallic compound combining niobium, boron, and tungsten in equimolar proportions, belonging to the class of refractory metal borides. This ternary system is primarily of research interest for high-temperature structural applications, as the constituent elements are known to form extremely hard, thermally stable phases. Industrial adoption remains limited; the material is most relevant to materials science researchers and advanced aerospace/energy programs investigating ultrahigh-temperature composites, rather than established engineering applications.
