Ni23B6 is a nickel-boron intermetallic compound belonging to the family of hard, brittle metal borides. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, valued for its high hardness and thermal stability in applications requiring exceptional wear resistance and elevated-temperature performance. Its use remains limited compared to conventional nickel alloys, making it most relevant for engineered coatings, wear-resistant composite reinforcement, and high-temperature structural applications where its boride characteristics provide advantages over softer nickel-based alternatives.
