Mn2AlB2 MAB Phase Powder Description

Mn2AlB2 MAB Phase Powder is a layered ternary boride material belonging to the unique family of MAB phases, which combine both metallic and ceramic characteristics. This compound, formed by manganese (Mn), aluminum (Al), and boron (B), crystallizes in an orthorhombic structure that provides a balance of electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and mechanical strength. Its distinctive structure enables exceptional oxidation resistance and moderate hardness, while maintaining good machinability compared to traditional ceramics. These properties make Mn2AlB2 highly attractive for applications in functional coatings, electronic devices, energy storage, and as a candidate material for high-temperature structural components. With its layered nature, the material also opens pathways for potential exfoliation into 2D derivatives, similar to MXenes, but with unique chemistry and functional possibilities.
