This is a list of prices of chemical elements. Listed here are mainly average market prices for bulk trade of commodities. Data on elements' abundance in Earth's crust is added for comparison. As of 2020, the most expensive non-synthetic element by both mass and volume is rhodium.
Binary metal-boron compounds, the metal borides, contain only boron and a metal. They are metallic, very hard, with high melting points. TiB 2, ZrB 2, and HfB 2 have melting points above 3000 °C. [68] Some metal borides find specialized applications as hard materials for cutting tools. [71]

Ferroboron (CAS Registry Number 11108–67-1) is a ferroalloy of iron and boron with boron content between 17.5 and 20%.[1]It is manufactured either by carbothermic reduction of boric acid in an electric arc furnace together with carbon steel, or by the aluminothermic reduction of boric acid in the presence of iron.
Position of the boron atom was adjusted independently by fixing the thermal parameters at the same value as for the Si atom in the same interstice. e The temperature factor is fixed at this value. f Equivalent isotropic temperature factor. It was calculated from the relation B eq. = 4/3(a 2 β 11 + b 2 β 22 + c 2 β 33).
Boron nitride tubules were first made in 1989 by Shore and Dolan This work was patented in 1989 and published in 1989 thesis (Dolan) and then 1993 Science. The 1989 work was also the first preparation of amorphous BN by B-trichloroborazine and cesium metal. Boron nitride nanotubes were predicted in 1994 [90] and experimentally discovered in ...
Soluble boron arranges in steels along grain boundaries. This inhibits the γ-α transformations (austenite to ferrite transformation) by diffusion and therefore increases the hardenability, with an optimal range of ~ 0.0003 to 0.003% B. [1] Additionally Fe 2 B has been found to precipitate at grain boundaries, which may also retard the γ-α transformations . [1]
Other hard boron-rich compounds include B 4 C and B 6 O. Amorphous a-B 4 C has a hardness of about 50 GPa, which is in the range of superhardness. [55] It can be looked at as consisting of boron icosahedra-like crystals embedded in an amorphous medium. However, when studying the crystalline form of B 4 C, the hardness is only about 30 GPa.
