Boron Carbide Properties:
The formula of Boron Carbide is B4C. Boron carbide crystals are hexagonal. Boron carburide densityis 2.52g/cm3. Boron carbide has a melting point of 2450

Boron carburide hardness (B4C): Mohs hardness scale 9.3; microhardness 5500-6700kg/mm2, which is only second to hardest material cubic boron-nitride and diamond.

Boron carbide possesses low density, high strength and high temperature stability, as well as 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 places, and is also commonly used for grinding, drilling, and other aspects.

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 252 g/cm3, a melting temperature at 2,250° Celsius.
Chemical properties: resistant to strong acids, alkalis, and high and low temperature. It can also absorb neutrons and emit gamma-rays, which are harmful to human health.

Boron carbide is a very stable substance in acidic or alkali solutions. Boron carbide remains stable in an atmosphere below 800degC. The boron oxidation product is lost to the gas phase and leads to its instabilities and oxidation 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 furnace. 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 for mud pumps. pestles. rocket launchers. ceramic coatings for helicopters. It has high melting points, high hardness and high elastic modulus. It also has good wear resistance.
Materials for shielding and controlling the nuclear industry
The Boron Carbide material has an excellent neutron resistance and absorption as well as a large thermal neutron section. It is widely recognized internationally and used for shielding materials and nuclear reactor control.
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 corrosion and wear.
Special absorber provides energy
The solid fuel rocket uses boron carbide (also known as black gold) as an energy source.
Chemical additives
Because of its high chemical potential and stable chemical properties, it is used widely in the production other boron-containing material, such as titanium boride or zirconium.
Advanced refractories
It is widely used to make steel stoves, kiln furniture, and other refractory products.

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. In addition, boron carbide powder B4C 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 air, sea, or express as quickly as possible after payment receipt.
