Development Trend of Boron Carbide
Boron carbide is a very hard boride. Because of its high temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, high strength, high chemical stability, light specific gravity and other characteristics, it is widely used in grinding, grinding, drilling, etc. of hard materials, machinery, aerospace, national defense, electronics, Bulletproof armor, chemical additives, refractory materials and many other fields. Because boron carbide has excellent neutron absorption and radiation resistance, it is used as the control material and shielding material of the most advanced nuclear reactor.
However, due to the high melting point of boron carbide itself, it is not easy to cast into artificial products, so it is usually processed into simple shapes by high temperature smelting. Dalian Jinma Boron Industry adopts the hot pressing sintering method, so that the boron carbide series products can be manufactured into curved panels with complex shapes under the condition that the physical properties remain unchanged, and the technology is leading.
