Electron-microscopical investigation of the character of the reaction of lanthanum hexaboride with nickel

Liquid metal wettability and advanced ceramic brazing

“…That follows from results on investigation of wettability and contact interaction of LaB 6 with metal melts. [18][19][20][21][22] Intensive chemical reaction proceeds at the metal melt/LaB 6 interface and metal reacts with boron of lanthanum hexaboride forming new borides. Also, dissolution of boron in the melt takes place.…”
