The hardness of boron carbide is second only to diamond and cubic boron nitride. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, high strength, high chemical stability, and light specific gravity. Today I will introduce to you what is the use of boron carbide.
The use of boron carbide:
1. Boron carbide has high grinding efficiency. As a grinding medium, it is mainly used in the grinding process of materials, such as: grinding, grinding, drilling and polishing of hard materials such as gemstones, ceramics, knives, bearings, and hard alloys. It is also used as grinding and polishing materials, abrasives for water cutting and diamond abrasive correction materials.
2. Manufacture other engineering ceramic materials, such as nozzles for sandblasting machines, nozzles for high-pressure water jetting machines, sealing rings, ceramic molds, etc. Used in welding rods to enhance the wear resistance of the welding surface.
3. In the refractory industry, it is widely used as an antioxidant and filler in main materials such as magnesia carbon bricks and iron hook castables.
4. Products made of boron carbide powder: sandblasting nozzles, sealing rings, nozzles, bearings, plungers of mud pumps, pestles and rocket launchers, ceramic coatings for warships and helicopters, etc. as a new type The material has the characteristics of high melting point, high hardness, high elastic modulus, strong wear resistance and good self-lubricating property, and is widely used in sandblasting machinery, electronics, information, aerospace, automobile and other industries.
5. Boron carbide is widely used in various fields of metallurgy as high-grade shaped and unshaped refractories due to its anti-oxidation and high temperature resistance properties, such as steel stoves and kiln furniture.
6. It is used for radiation protection panels in CT rooms of hospitals. The boron content absorbs neutrons, so as to achieve the purpose of radiation protection.
