Zn₃B is an intermetallic ceramic compound belonging to the zinc-boride family, formed through the combination of zinc and boron elements. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, with applications in advanced ceramics and composite systems where boron-containing phases provide hardness and thermal stability. Zn₃B and related zinc borides are explored for use in wear-resistant coatings, high-temperature structural applications, and as reinforcement phases in metal-matrix composites, though adoption remains limited compared to more established ceramic systems like alumina or silicon carbide.
