Boron Carbide Properties:
The formula of Boron Carbide is B4C. Boron carbide crystals are hexagonal. Boron carburide density is 2.52g/cm3. Boron carbide has a melting point of 2450
Boron carburide hardness (B4C): Mohs scale 9.3; microhardness 55006700kg/mm2. Second only to hardest material Diamond and cubic boron-nitride.
Boron carbide has low density, high strength and high temperature stability. It also has 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 to replace expensive diamonds at certain places, and is also commonly used for grinding and drilling.
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, and melting temperatures up to 2,250 degrees Celsius.
Chemical properties: resistant to strong acids, alkalis, and high and low temperature. 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 alkali or acidic aqueous solutions. Boron carbide remains stable in an atmosphere below 800degC. The boron carbide formed from its oxidation is lost to the gas phase.
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 arc 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 mainly used in grinding processes for hard materials, including gems. ceramics. knives. 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 has high melting points, high hardness and high elastic modulus. It also has good wear resistance and self-lubricating qualities.
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
Its high strength and low specific gravity make it ideal for the manufacture of lightweight bulletproof armour, which is used to protect aircrafts, vehicles, ships, and even human bodies.
Increase life expectancy of mechanical components
Mix boron-carbide powder with metals to create metal-based powder. After a special treatment, original mechanical components are more resistant to wear.
Special absorber provides energy
The solid fuel rocket uses a powdered form of boron carbide (also known as "black-gold") as its power source.
Chemical additives
Because of its high chemical potential and stable chemical properties boron carbide is used widely in 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, boron carbide B4C must be packed in vacuum and kept in a dry and cool room. Additionally, the boron-carbide B4C powder 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 packaging.
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.
