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

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

Boron carbide exhibits low density, a high degree of strength, good temperature stability, and good chemical resistance. 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 in drilling, grinding, 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 point at 2,250 degrees 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 acid solutions. It is also stable in alkali or concentrated acid 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. The powdered black is solidified after it has been ground at temperatures above 2,000degC. Its melting temperature is about 2,350degC.

Boron Carbide B4C Powder Uses:

Fine abrasive and advanced materials
It is mainly used in grinding processes for hard materials, including gems. ceramics. knives. bearings.
Industrial Ceramic Materials
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 for helicopters. It is a material with high wear resistance and self-lubricating characteristics. It's widely used in industries such as sandblasting, electronics, aviation, aerospace and automobile.
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
Due to its strength and low specific gravity, it's especially suitable for use as lightweight bulletproof armour, such a protecting aircraft, vehicles, vessels and human body.
Improve mechanical part life
Mix boron-carbide powder with metals to create metal-based 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 materials such as zirconium and titanium borides.
Advanced refractories
It is widely used to make steel stoves, kiln furniture, and other metallurgical 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. The boron carbide powder should not be exposed to stress.
