Nd₄B₁₆ is a rare-earth boride intermetallic compound combining neodymium with boron in a ceramic matrix structure. This material belongs to the rare-earth boride family, which is primarily explored in research contexts for high-temperature structural applications and advanced coating systems. Engineering interest centers on its potential for thermal stability and hardness in extreme environments, though industrial adoption remains limited compared to established boride ceramics like TiB₂ or established rare-earth compounds.
