Nickel Boride (Ni2B)-Powder

Characteristic

Nickel borides are inorganic compounds with the chemical formula Ni_xB_y, where x and y vary. A common formula is Ni₂B, which is available in two forms, known as P−1 and P−2. Other less common borides of nickel are NiB, Ni₃B, o-Ni₄B₃ and m-Ni₄B₃ (o for orthogonal, m for metastable).
