Description:
Boron Carbide is the hardest man made material produced in tonnage. Because of its high strength, low density, corrosion resistance, low conductivity and high modulus of elasticity, it is an ideal material for a wide variety of applications.
Applications:
Boron carbide is used in wear parts such as blasting nozzles, various dies and ceramic body armor. As an abrasive it is ideal for lapping ceramics and ultrasonic cutting (machining). It is used as a neutron absorber in the nuclear industry and for reactor control rods. It is an anti-oxidant in carbon-bonded refractory mixes, and is used as a sintering aid in silicon carbide parts. Graystar has premium boron carbide for all the above applications.
