Boron Carbide By Zibo Xin Xing Hui New Material Technology Co., Ltd.

We are engaged in trading, exporting and supplying excellent quality Boron Carbide to our valuable clients. Boron carbide (boron carbide), alias black diamond, formula of B4C, usually colored powder.Is one of the hardest three known materials (the other two for diamond and cubic boron nitride), used for tanks armor, bulletproof garment and many industrial products should be.Its mohs hardness is 9.3.
It in the 19th century as a by-product of metal boride study found, until the 1930 s by scientific research.Boron carbide can be used in electric furnace carbon boron trioxide.
Boron carbide can absorb a large number of neutrons and will not form any radioactive isotope, so it is in the field of nuclear power it is ideal neutron absorber, and neutron absorber mainly control the rate of nuclear fission.Boron carbide in nuclear reactor field is mainly to make control rod, but sometimes because of to increase the surface area and make it into powder.
Because of the low density, good strength, high temperature stability and chemical stability characteristics.In the wear-resistant materials, ceramic reinforced phase, especially in light armor, reactor neutron absorber, etc.In addition, compared with diamond and cubic boron nitride, boron carbide easy manufacturing, low cost, and more widely used, in some places can get expensive diamond, common application in grinding, grinding, drilling, etc.
