UB4Mo is a molybdenum-containing boride ceramic or intermetallic compound, likely from the uranium–boron–molybdenum family. This material is primarily of research and specialized defense/nuclear interest, where the combination of boron and molybdenum provides high hardness, thermal stability, and neutron absorption characteristics. Its use is limited to niche applications in nuclear shielding, refractory components, and experimental high-temperature systems where traditional tungsten carbides or molybdenum disilicides would be inadequate.
