Product Application

Applications:
1、Boron Carbide with its high hardness is widely used in polishing, lapping and drilling of hard metals, corundum, sapphire, glass and ceramics, as well as a loose abrasive in cutting applications such as water jet cutting. It can also be used for dressing diamond tools. 


2、Wear parts such as blasting nozzles, wire-drawing dies, powdered metal and ceramic forming dies. 
 

3、Nuclear applications such as reactor control rods and neutron absorbing shielding. 
 

4、Since its high hardness, high elastic modulus, and low density give the material an exceptionally high specific stopping power to defeat high velocity projectiles, Boron Carbide, in conjunction with other materials can be used as ballistic armor (including body or personal and vehicles).
 

5、Metal Borides, produced by using Boron Carbide powder and metals, can be used surface coating to increase wear resistance of mechanical parts significantly.


6、With its high thermal capacity, Boron Carbide powder can be used as solid fuel of rackets.


7、Boron Carbide is also used as raw material for other boride materials, such as Boron Halide, Boron Nitride, metal halides etc. 

8、As anti-oxidant in carbon-bonded refractory mixes
