· SnB

Tin boride (SnB) is a ceramic compound combining tin and boron, belonging to the refractory boride family of materials. While SnB remains relatively uncommon in high-volume industrial use, boride ceramics are investigated for applications demanding high hardness, thermal stability, and wear resistance at elevated temperatures. This material represents an emerging composition within boride research, with potential relevance for specialized wear-resistant coatings and high-temperature structural applications where alternatives like titanium diboride or zirconium diboride are cost-prohibitive or unsuitable.
