NiB11
metal· JVASP-125136· NiB11
NiB11 is a nickel-boron intermetallic compound that belongs to the nickel boride family of hard, brittle ceramics. It is primarily investigated for applications requiring extreme hardness and wear resistance, particularly in cutting tools, grinding media, and thermal barrier coatings where its high melting point and chemical stability provide advantages over conventional alternatives. The material is used selectively in specialized industrial applications where cost and brittleness trade-offs are acceptable for superior hardness and oxidation resistance.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
