NiB
metal· 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.

Export Control
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.
