Applications of boron carbide？
1. Boron carbide is used as a high-hardness abrasive material for grinding, polishing, drilling, etc. of various hard alloys, corundum, gemstones, ceramics or glass;
2. The use of high-quality boron carbide powder can be used to manufacture high-quality sandblasting nozzles, correction tools, grinding discs, and bearing support surfaces after high-temperature hot-pressing and sintering.
3. In the nuclear industry, because the B10 isotope has high neutron absorption cross-section characteristics and high boron content in boron carbide, boron carbide is particularly suitable as a neutron absorber for nuclear reactors, and can be used as a better radiation shielding material .
4. Due to its high hardness and small relative specific gravity, boron carbide is very suitable for use in light armor, such as: armored personnel carriers, helicopter mailbox guards, soldier body armor, etc., surface coating of aircraft support frames, instrument fuel tanks, etc. Manufacture of armor protection panels.
5. Boron carbide powder and other metals synthesize metal borides. After special surface treatment of this metal borides, the original mechanical parts will be more damaged and the resistance to acid and alkali corrosion will be enhanced.
6. Boron carbide materials are high-energy compounds, which can also be applied to high-temperature thermoelectric conversion, and can be used as solid fuel in rocket launch under certain conditions in a powder state.
7. Boron carbide has stable chemical properties and does not react with acid and alkali solutions. It is widely used in the manufacture of other borides, such as boron halides, elemental borides, titanium borides, zirconium borides, etc.
8. Boron carbide has the characteristics of anti-oxidation and high temperature resistance. It is used as an excellent fixed and unshaped refractory material and is widely used in various aspects such as metallurgy, steel stoves, and kiln furniture repair.
