boron carbide
Boron carbide is a black crystal with metallic luster on the surface, commonly known as black diamond, in which boric acid is used as the main raw material, petroleum coke and other carbonaceous materials are added, and a powdery product formed after high-temperature smelting and crushing is combined with cubic boron nitride and Diamond is also a superhard material.
It has good chemical stability, is insoluble in organic solvents and water, and is resistant to almost all acid and alkali corrosion; it is semiconducting, has a large thermal neutron capture cross section, and has strong neutron absorption capacity.
