TiB₂ (titanium diboride) is a ceramic compound belonging to the transition metal diboride family, characterized by exceptional hardness and thermal stability. It is primarily used in wear-resistant applications, cutting tools, and abrasive coatings in aerospace and manufacturing industries, where its combination of hardness and chemical inertness makes it superior to conventional carbide tools in high-speed machining. TiB₂ is also explored for armor applications and as a reinforcing phase in composite materials due to its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to thermal shock.
