Description of Niobium Boride Powder
Molybdenum boride (MoB) powder is a compound formed by combining molybdenum and boron, known for its remarkable hardness and high-temperature stability. It exhibits excellent resistance to wear, oxidation, and corrosion, making it ideal for applications in extreme environments. The powder is commonly used in protective coatings, cutting tools, and high-temperature components due to its durability and thermal conductivity. MoB also serves as a catalyst in industrial processes, including hydrogen evolution and hydrodesulfurization reactions.

Application
Molybdenum boride (MoB) powder is primarily used in protective coatings for cutting tools and high-wear surfaces due to its exceptional hardness and durability. It also finds applications in high-temperature components, such as turbine blades and nozzles, because of its stability in extreme heat. Additionally, MoB powder serves as an efficient catalyst in chemical processes like hydrogen evolution and desulfurization in the petrochemical industry.
Reference
Synthesis of niobium borides by powder metallurgy methods using Nb2O5, B2O3 and Mg blends
- Niobium boride powders having NbB, NbB2 and Nb3B4 phases in various amounts and single phase NbB powders were successfully synthesized by using powder metallurgy methods from related metal oxide raw materials in the presence of a strong reducing agent. Nb2O5, B2O3 and Mg powder blends were milled at room temperature by a high-energy ball mill for different time. Subsequently, undesired MgO phase was removed from the milled powders by HCl leaching to constitute NbB–NbB2–Nb3B4 as final products and they were subjected to an annealing process at 1500 °C for 4 h to observe probable boride transformation.
