Boron Carbide (B4C) is one of the hardest man-made materials. Its hardness with Mohs hardness 9.36 and microscopic hardness 5400 to 6300kg/mm²is only exceeded by cubic boron nitrides and diamond. Its density is 2.52g/cm³ and melting point is 2450°C. Boron Carbide powders are characterized by excellent properties, such as high boron content, high alkali and acid resistance, outstanding heat resistance, high grinding efficiency, and no magnetism. It is the ideal substitutes for diamond.
Applications
- High temperature thermoelements
- Boron source to produce other boron compounds
- Abrasive grit or powder (grinding, lapping, polishing)
- Light weight ceramic armor
- Neutron shielding material
- Metal infiltration
- Sintering and hot pressing powder for the manufacture of sintered boron carbide parts
