NbB2W is a refractory metal boride composite combining niobium, boron, and tungsten—a research-phase material designed to exploit the high hardness of boride ceramics with the toughness and thermal conductivity benefits of metal matrices. This class of materials targets extreme-environment applications where conventional superalloys or monolithic ceramics fall short, offering potential advantages in wear resistance, thermal stability, and machinability compared to pure ceramic borides or single-phase refractory metals.
