Application of Boron carbide as chemical raw material:
Boron carbide powder, activated by halogen, can be used as a boronizing agent for steel and other alloys to boronize the steel surface to generate a thin layer of iron boride to enhance the strength and wear resistance of materials. Boron carbide can also be used as non-metallic additives for some metal based friction materials. When Boride powder is prepared by reduction combination method, Boron carbide can be used as the boron source to prepare TiB2, ZrB2, CrB2 and other powders, which is called the “Boron carbide method” for powder preparation.
