Boron Carbide

Place of Origin: United States Shape: Grains & Powder Color: Black

Size: - 140 mesh



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 co mm ercial 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.
