Boron Carbide

Boron carbide powder for sale is a kind of gray-black micropowder. It is an inorganic substance. The chemical form of boron carbide powder is B₄C. As one of the three hardest materials known (after diamond and cubic boron nitride), you caan find boron carbide powder uses widely in tank armor, body armor, and many other industrial applications. Its Mohs hardness is about 9.5.

Boron Carbide Applications

01.

Control Nuclear Fission

Boron carbide for sale can absorb a large number of neutrons without forming any radioisotopes, so it is an ideal neutron absorber in nuclear power plants, and neutron absorbers mainly control the rate of nuclear fission.

02.

Abrasives

Since boron carbide has been used as a grit abrasive a long time ago. Due to its high melting point, it is not easy to be cast into artificial products, but by melting powder at high temperature, it can be processed into simple shapes. You can find boron carbide applications in grinding, drilling, and polishing hard materials such as cemented carbide and gemstones.

03.

Coating paint

Boron carbide for sale can also be used as a ceramic coating for warships and helicopters.

04.

Nozzle

In the arms industry, boron carbide powder can be used to manufacture gun nozzles.

05.

Others

Boron carbide for sale is also used in the manufacture of metal borides and in the smelting of sodium boron, boron alloys, and special welding.

There are many abrasive material suppliers, but we are one of the best choices for you.
