Detailed Product Descript ion
Boron Carbide is one of the hardest man-made materials available. Size available is a -140 mesh grain/powder.
Boron Carbide is one of the hardest man-made materials available in commercial quantities that has a finite melting point low enough to permit its relatively easy fabrication into shapes. Some of Boron Carbide’s unique properties include: high hardness, chemical inertness, and a high neutron absorbing cross section. Size available is a -140 mesh
Applications well suited for Boron Carbide include: abrasives for lapping and ultrasonic cutting, anti-oxidant in carbon-bonded refractory mixes, ceramic armor, nuclear applications such as reactor control rods and neutron absorbing shielding, and wear parts such as blasting nozzles, wire-drawing dies, powdered metal and ceramic forming dies, and thread guides.
