Iron Monoboride Powder FeB Iron Boride CAS 12006-84-7

Iron Monoboride (FeB) is a high-performance intermetallic compound valued for its exceptional hardness, thermal stability (melting point >1650°C), and cost-effective durability. This gray-black crystalline material combines iron’s strength and magnetic properties with boron’s hardness, making it ideal for industrial machinery, wear-resistant coatings, and catalytic applications.

High Hardness: Superior resistance to abrasion and mechanical wear.
Thermal Stability: Maintains structural integrity up to 1200°C in inert atmospheres.
Cost-Effective: Lower cost compared to cobalt- or nickel-based borides.
Corrosion Resistance: Stable in mildly acidic/alkaline environments (pH 4–10).
