“…Very recently, various properties of CrAlB, Cr 2 AlB 2 , and Cr 3 AlB 4 have also been studied. [22][23][24][25] Above mentioned transition metal aluminum boride compounds possess damage tolerance, good thermal shock resistance, [21] oxidation resistance at high temperature, high hardness, high melting point, [26] low thermal expansion coefficient, good thermal, and electrical conductivity. [20] These extra-ordinary physical properties make them eligible candidate for applications in energy generation as solar thermal absorbers, [27] construction of sharp, and leading edges of hypersonic as well as space vehicles.…”
