Description
M B4C Powder is Boron Carbide powder, a high abrasive material known for its exceptional hardness and chemical resistance, similar to diamonds. Due to its high hardness, it is often referred to as the “Black Diamond” and ranks just below diamond and cubic boron nitride in hardness. This unique property makes boron carbide an excellent choice for grinding applications.
Typical areas of application
- Grinding, lapping and polishing tungsten carbide and other hard materials.
- Hot pressing and sintering for lightweight, hard, and abrasion-resistant components; additive for sintering silicon carbide parts and diamond tools.
- Ceramic armor; refractory materials; metallurgical refractory with high resistance to corrosion and oxygen.
- Solid rocket fuel.
- Neutron absorption in nuclear technology.
- Steel modification with high boron content.
- Boronizing.
Advantages
- Extreme hardness.
- High chemical resistance.
- Wear resistance, extends component lifespan.
