V3B2 is a vanadium boride ceramic compound belonging to the family of transition metal borides, which are known for exceptional hardness and thermal stability. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, used in applications requiring extreme wear resistance and high-temperature performance, such as cutting tools, abrasive coatings, and armor systems. Engineers select vanadium borides over conventional carbides when superior hardness combined with chemical inertness and thermal shock resistance is critical, though availability and cost typically limit adoption to high-value applications.
