Application of Boron Carbide in Nuclear Industry

Application of Boron Carbide in Nuclear Industry Boron carbide has a high neutron absorption cross section and a wide energy spectrum for absorbing neutrons, and is often used as a neutron absorbing material for nuclear reactors. Among them, the thermal cross section of the boron-10 isotope is as high as 347×10-24cm2, second only to a

Difference Between Boron Carbide and Boron Nitride

Difference Between Boron Carbide and Boron Nitride Nowadays, many people can’t tell the difference between boron nitride and boron carbide. The most important reason for this phenomenon is that the pronunciation is similar, but the two are actually different in performance. 1. Boron carbide is a hard black shiny crystal. The hardness is lower than
