ThCr2B6 is a ternary metal boride compound combining thorium, chromium, and boron in a hexaboride structure. This is a research material primarily studied for its potential as a refractory ceramic or hard material, belonging to the metal hexaboride family known for extreme hardness and thermal stability. While not widely deployed in production, materials in this class are investigated for high-temperature structural applications and wear-resistant coatings where traditional superalloys or carbides reach their limits.
