Borium

Borium

Borium is a generic name for tungsten carbide crystals embedded in a carrier material, usually used to provide traction for horses.

Borium usually comes in the form of steel or brass tubing with a matrix of tungsten carbide crystals in it, coatings, and on the head of nails for use in and on horseshoes.

Borium should not be confused with the element bohrium or boron, the latter of which is called borium in a number of languages.
