Boron Carbide is a well reputed abrasive material. Its hardness is just below diamond. Boron Carbide is a well reputed abrasive

Boron Carbide is one of the hardest man-made materials available in commercial quantities that has a finite melting point low enough to permit its relatively easy fabrication into shapes. Some of Boron Carbides unique properties include: high hardness, chemical inertness, and a high neutron absorbing cross section .

 Application:

 Boron Carbide is well suited to a variety of industrial applications including:

Abrasives for lapping and ultrasonic cutting

Anti-oxidant in carbon-bonded refractory mixes

Armor

Nuclear applications such as reactor control rods and neutron absorbing shielding

Wear parts such as blasting nozzles, wire-drawing dies, powdered metal and ceramic forming dies, thread guides

Boron Carbide

Boron carbide is an ideal raw material for production of refractory products, abrasive materials, and for ceramic products.  Grain D50(μm) Total B% Total C% Fe2O3% Si% BC% F60 250 77-80 17-21 0.25 -0.45 0.2 -0.4 96-98 F70 212 F80 180 F90 150 F100 125 F120 106 F150 75 F180 75-63 76-79 17-21 0.25-0.45 0.2-0.4 95-97 F220 63-53 F230 53 3.0 F240 44.5 2.0 F280 36.5 1.5 75-79 17-21 0.3-0.6 0.3-0.8 93-97 F320 29.2 1.5 F360 22.8 1.5 F400 17.3 1.0 F500 12.8 1.0 74-78 17-21 0.4-0.8 0.4-1.0 90-94 F600 9.3 1.0 F800 6.5 1.0 F1000 4.5 0.8 73-77 17-21 0.5-1.0 0.4-1.2 89-92 F1200 3.0 0.5 F1500 3 0.8 60#-150# 250-75 76-80 17-21 0.3 max 0.5 max 95-98 -100 mesh 150 max 75-79 17-21 0.3 max 0.5 max 94-97 -200 mesh 90 max 74-79 17-21 0.3 max 0.5 max 94-97 -325 mesh 45 max 73-78 17-21 0.5 max 0.5 max 93-97 -25μm 25 max 73-78 17-21 0.5 max 0.5 max 91-95 -10μm 10 max 72-76 17-21 0.5 max 0.5 max 90-92
