Used as a high-temperature structural material in aerospace and gas turbine components due to excellent thermal stability and oxidation resistance. Commonly applied in heating elements for high-temperature furnaces operating above 1700°C. Serves as a diffusion barrier layer in microelectronics to prevent silicon-metal reactions. Also explored as a coating material for wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant surfaces in extreme environments. Its ceramic-like properties make it suitable for use in composite materials aimed at improving strength and thermal performance.
