Ni3B is an intermetallic compound composed of nickel and boron, belonging to the family of nickel borides. This material is primarily encountered in research and specialized industrial contexts rather than as a standalone structural material, typically appearing as a phase in nickel-boron coatings, composite reinforcements, or as a byproduct in nickel-based superalloy processing. Engineers select nickel borides for applications requiring high hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability, particularly in surface engineering and coating technologies where the intermetallic phase contributes to enhanced material performance in demanding environments.
