· Ni2B

Ni₂B is a nickel boride intermetallic compound that belongs to the family of metal-boron ceramics, characterized by a crystal structure combining metallic and ceramic properties. It is primarily investigated in research and advanced materials contexts for applications requiring high hardness and thermal stability, particularly as a reinforcement phase in composite coatings and as a catalytic material in chemical processing. This material appeals to engineers designing wear-resistant surfaces, thermal barrier systems, and specialized catalysts where the combination of metallic boron bonding offers superior hardness compared to single-element alternatives.
