Boron carbide, a black crystal powder, is one of the hardest Man-Made materials, its hardness with Mohs hardness 9.36 and microscopic hardness 5400-6300kg/mm2 is only near upon diamond, its density 2.52g/cm3 and melting point at 2450.The boron carbide possesses properties of endurance hi/low temperature, no reaction with either acids or alkalis, high grinding efficiency, no magnetism. It is a good replacement of diamond. Boron carbide also possesses the specialty properties of light quality, neutron absorbing, semi-conductivity, etc. so it is used in armed forces and nuclear industry.
Boron carbide is widely applied as follows: boriding refractory, ion transfuse, film layer as well as grinding, polishing, drilling hard metal alloys, jewels, etc. meanwhile, it is main materials for the wear-resisting parts, precise meter-age element, precise spray nozzle, sealed washer, smelting boron steel,boron alloy, etc. Boron carbide has showed many better properties of physics and chemistry in the hi-science/technology field.
Boron carbide is smelted from boric acid and powdered carbon in electric furnace under high temperature.Depending on hardness of 4950kgf/mm2,It is even harder than diamond and cubic boron nitride.Because of their high strength,low density, corrosion resistant,high temperature resistant,low thermal conductivity,high modulus of elasticity,it is ideal for a wide variety of applications.
