Boron Carbide Properties:
Boron carbide has the formula B4C. Boron carbide crystals are hexagonal. Boron carburide density in 2.52g/cm3. Boron carbide has a melting point of 2450

Boron carburide hardness (B4C): Mohs hardness scale 9.3, and microhardness 55006700kg/mm2, is only second to hardest material Diamond and cubic boron-nitride.

Boron carbide is known for its high strength, low density and high temperature stability. It also has a good chemical stability. Boron carbide is widely used as a ceramic reinforcement phase, in particular in lightweight armor and reactor neutron absorbers.

ceramic boron carbide has a lower cost and is easier to manufacture than diamond or cubic boron. It is used more often. It can be used to replace expensive diamonds at certain locations and is widely used for grinding, grinding and drilling.

B4C powder is high-purity, has small particle sizes, and high specific surfaces. B4C, on the other hand, is an ultra-rigid material, with a hardness of 9.46. It also has microhardnesses between 56-6200Kg/mm2, a proportion of 252g/cm3, a melting point at 2,250° Celsius.
Chemical properties, nonmagnetic, resistant at high and low temperature, to strong acids and bases. It can also absorb neutrons and emit gamma-rays, which are harmful to human health.

Boron carbide is a very stable substance in acidic solutions. It is also stable in alkali or acidic aqueous solutions. Boron carbide remains stable in air below 800degC. The boron oxide that is formed when it is oxidized at a high temperature is lost to the gas phase. It then oxidizes into carbon dioxide and boron trioxide.

How does Boron Carbide B4C Boride Powder get produced?
Boron Carbide (B4C) Boride Powder is created by reducing carbon with boron at high temperature in an electric heater. After grinding the black powder, it is solidified through pressing at temperatures above 2,000degC. Its melting temperature is about 2,350degC.

Boron Carbide B4C Powder Uses:

Fine and Advanced Abrasive Materials
It is used in grinding processes for hard materials, including gems. ceramics. knives. bearings.
Industrial ceramics
The following products are made from boron-carbide powder as a novel material: sandblasting nodes, seal rings, bearings plungers of mud pump, pestles and launchers, ceramic coatings to protect warships or helicopters. It is used for sandblasting machines, electronics, information technology, aerospace, automobile, and other industries.
Materials for shielding and controlling the nuclear industry
Boron carbide is a highly regarded material that has been internationally recognized for its neutron absorption properties, thermal neutron capture, and radiation resistance.
Bulletproof armor
Its high strength and low specific gravity make it ideal for the manufacture of lightweight bulletproof armour, which is used to protect aircrafts, vehicles, ships, and even human bodies.
Improve mechanical part life
Mix boron-carbide powder with metals to create metal-based alloys powder. After a special treatment, original mechanical components are more resistant to wear.
Special absorber provides energy
The solid fuel rocket uses a powdered form of boron carbide (also known as "black-gold") as its power source.
Chemical additives
Because of its high chemical potential and stable chemical properties, it is widely used for the production other boron-containing material, such as titanium boride or zirconium.
Advanced refractories
It is used for steel stoves, kiln furniture, and other metallurgy applications because of its high-temperature and anti-oxidation resistance.

Storage condition of Boron Carbide powder B4C:
B4C Powder dispersion and use effects will be affected by damp reunion. Therefore, boron carbide B4C must be packed in vacuum and kept in a dry and cool room. Also, the boron-carbide B4C powder must not be exposed to stress.

Shipping & Packing of Boron Carbide (B4C) powder:
The amount of B4C powder we use will determine the type of packaging.
Boron carbide powder packaging: vacuum packed, 100g,500g or 1kg/bag; 25kg/barrel.
Boron carbide B4C Powder Shipping: Could be shipped by sea, air, or by express, once payment has been received.
