ceramic

· JVASP-153362· ThB12

ThB12 is a boride ceramic compound belonging to the rare-earth boride family, known for exceptional hardness and high-temperature stability. It is primarily investigated for ultra-hard cutting and abrasive applications, as well as for wear-resistant coatings in extreme environments where conventional ceramics or carbides fall short. ThB12's combination of hardness and thermal shock resistance makes it a candidate material for aerospace tooling, grinding media, and high-performance cutting tools, though industrial adoption remains limited compared to established alternatives like cubic boron nitride or tungsten carbide.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

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.
