Define the exact compound and phase before comparing particle and processing requirements. [Browse 8 materials]() [Ask about supply]() [Image: Powder material specimens; appearance reference]() ## Choose a material ### Transition-metal diborides Compare the metal-boron identity and target phase. Particle distribution, oxygen and secondary phases belong alongside the intended ceramic process. #### Titanium diboride powder titanium diboride (TiB2) ultra-high-temperature ceramic powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() TiB2 #### Zirconium diboride powder zirconium diboride (ZrB2) ultra-high-temperature ceramic powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() ZrB2 #### Hafnium diboride powder hafnium diboride (HfB2) ultra-high-temperature ceramic powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() HfB2 #### Niobium diboride powder niobium diboride (NbB2) ceramic powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() NbB2 #### Tantalum diboride powder tantalum diboride (TaB2) ceramic powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() TaB2 ### Lanthanum and cerium hexaborides LaB6 and CeB6 have different compositions from the diborides above. Keep the full formula and intended evaluation in the specification. #### Lanthanum hexaboride powder lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() LaB6 #### Cerium hexaboride powder cerium hexaboride (CeB6) powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() CeB6 ### Magnesium diboride For MgB2, record the phase and impurity limits relevant to the research task, together with supplied condition and particle requirements. #### Magnesium diboride powder magnesium diboride (MgB2) powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() MgB2 ## Material selection guide Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet. **Compound & phase** Keep TiB2, ZrB2, HfB2, LaB6 and the other boride identities distinct. State any secondary-phase limits. **Powder specification** Specify particle distribution, oxygen, free boron/carbon and critical metallic impurities as applicable to the material. **Application evidence** Connect the candidate to ceramic processing, high-temperature, electronic or research use. Request the evidence needed for your own evaluation. ## Before you choose **Does a common boride family label establish equivalent behavior?** No. Diborides and hexaborides have distinct material identities. Choose by the exact compound and your process requirements, rather than treating the family name as a grade. **What does this directory cover?** Boron carbide, boron nitride and elemental boron are different chemistries and are linked from their appropriate directories. ## What to include in your request A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know. - Full boride formula and phase limits - Particle distribution and morphology - Oxygen and critical impurity limits - Intended process, sample and batch records ### Quantity, samples and documents Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums. We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements. [How we coordinate documents]() [Samples and testing]() [Send a material request]() ## Applications to explore.
