Tb₂B₄C is a rare-earth boron carbide ceramic compound combining terbium, boron, and carbon into a ternary ceramic phase. This material belongs to the family of advanced refractory and boron-carbon ceramics, likely of primary research interest rather than established commercial production. Ternary boron carbides are investigated for applications requiring exceptional hardness, thermal stability, and neutron absorption, making them candidates for specialized high-performance ceramic and nuclear engineering contexts where conventional boron carbide or carbide ceramics reach performance limits.
