· NiB

Nickel boride (NiB) is an intermetallic compound combining nickel with boron, belonging to the family of hard ceramic-metallic materials. It is primarily encountered in research and specialized industrial contexts as a coating material, catalyst support, and wear-resistant phase in composite systems, valued for its high hardness and thermal stability compared to monolithic nickel.
