Boron Carbide Properties:
Boron carbide has the formula B4C. Boron carbide crystals are hexagonal. Boron carburide density reaches 2.52g/cm3. Boron carbide has a melting point of 2450

Boron carburide hardness (B4C): Mohs hardness is 9.3; its microhardness ranges from 55006700kg/mm2, making it second only after the hardest material cubic boron-nitride and diamond.

Boron carbide exhibits low density, high strength and high temperature stability, as well as good chemical stability. Boron carbide is widely used as a ceramic reinforcement phase, in particular in lightweight armor and reactor neutron absorbers.

ceramic boron carbide has a lower cost and is easier to manufacture than diamond or cubic boron. It is used more often. It can be used in place of expensive diamonds, and is widely used in grinding, drilling, and many other aspects.

B4C powder is high-purity, has small particle sizes, and high specific surfaces. B4C, on the other hand, is an ultra-rigid material, with a hardness of 9.46. It also has microhardnesses between 56-6200Kg/mm2, a proportion of 252g/cm3, a melting point at 2,250° Celsius.
Chemical properties, nonmagnetic, resistant at high and low temperature, to strong acids and bases. It can also absorb neutrons and emit gamma-rays, which are harmful to human health.

Boron carbide is a very stable substance in acidic solutions. It is also stable in alkaline or concentrated acidic aqueous solution. Boron carbide remains stable in an atmosphere below 800degC. The boron oxide that is formed when it is oxidized at a high temperature is lost to the gas phase. It then oxidizes into carbon dioxide and boron trioxide.

How does Boron Carbide B4C Boride Powder get produced?
Boron Carbide (B4C) Boride Powder is created by reducing carbon with boron at high temperature in an electric furnace. After grinding the black powder, it is solidified through pressing at temperatures above 2,000degC. Its melting temperature is about 2,350degC.

Boron Carbide B4C Powder Uses:

Fine abrasive and advanced materials
It is used in grinding processes for hard materials such a gems or ceramics. Also, it can be used to drill and polish bearings.
Industrial ceramics
The following products are made from boron-carbide powder as a novel material: sandblasting nodes, seal rings, nozzles bearings plungers for mud pumps pestles rocket launchers ceramic coatings warships helicopters etc. It is characterized by a high melting point, a high hardness, elasticity, wear resistance and self-lubricating qualities. It's widely used in the sandblasting industry, electronic, information, aviation, automobile, and other industries.
Materials for shielding and controlling the nuclear industry
Boron carbide is a highly regarded material that has been internationally recognized for its neutron absorption properties, thermal neutron capture, and radiation resistance.
Bulletproof armor
Especially due to its strength and low specific gravity, lightweight bulletproof armour is ideal for protecting aircraft, vehicles, vessels and even human bodies.
Increase life expectancy of mechanical components
Mix boron-carbide powder with metals to create metal-based alloy powder. After a special treatment, original mechanical components are more resistant to wear.
Special absorber provides energy
The solid fuel rocket uses boron carbide (also known as black gold) as an energy source.
Chemical additives
Because of its high chemical potential and stable chemical properties, it is widely used for the production other boron containing materials such as zirconium and titanium boride.
Advanced refractories
It is widely used to make steel stoves, kiln furniture, and other refractory products.

Storage condition of Boron Carbide powder B4C:
B4C Powder dispersion and use effects will be affected by damp reunion. Therefore, the B4C boron powder must be packed in vacuum and kept in a dry and cool room. Furthermore, boron carbide powder B4C must not be exposed to stress.

Shipping & Packing of Boron Carbide (B4C) powder:
The amount of B4C powder we use will determine the type of packing.
Boron carbide powder packaging: vacuum packed, 100g,500g or 1kg/bag; 25kg/barrel.
Boron carbide B4C Powder Shipping: Could be shipped by sea, air, or by express as soon after payment receipt.
