Abstract: In recent years, boride ceramics have become the hot topic and focus all over the world, due to their excellent properties, such as high strength and hardness and wide application in the fields of refractory materials, nuclear industry, aerospace and cutting tools. Ceramic materials including binary borides, ternary borides, quaternary borides and high-entropy borides will be introduced and the current research progress of multi-component borides ceramics will be discussed. The application and the development process of boride ceramics are summarized. The performance improvement strategies and prospects of multi-component borides are are prospected.

Key words: boride ceramics; performance; research progress; high entropy borides
