Boron carbide downstream application market prospects
1. Among several major downstream markets,
At the same time, affected by the slowdown in the development of the downstream industry, it is expected that the contribution to the demand for boron carbide will be difficult to significantly increase in the future.
2. In the abrasives industry,
Sapphire processing accounts for 70% of the entire abrasive market. Boron carbide has been used for decades to polish sapphire crystals on high-end watches, In the past ten years, the application of sapphire in the semiconductor and electronics industries has developed rapidly. It is the most important LED substrate material, driving the demand for boron carbide in the domestic market
3. In the field of nuclear industry,
boron carbide is regarded as one of the best choices for neutron absorption materials due to the good neutron absorption capacity of the 10B isotope and its excellent mechanical properties.
Overall, driven by the key market of boron carbide, it is expected to embark on a path of high-quality development.
