- Material:
|
B4C / Boron Carbide
|
- Introduction:
|
Boron carbide (B4C) is one of the world's hardest manufactured materials. Its strong chemical bonds and hard surface minimize wear in rigorous environments. Boron carbides are often used in , taking advantage of exceptional hardness and low density. The hardness provides excellent protection, while the light-weight maximizes mobility. Additionally, the uniquely structured boron carbide can be used for neutron shielding. |
-Typical Characteristics:
|
1. Exceptional Hardness 2. Out Standing Wear Resistance 3. Low Density 4. High Flexural Strength 5. Neutron Absorbing |
-Typical Applications:
|
1. 2. Neutron Shielding 3. Wear Resistant Tile 4. Sandblasting Nozzle |
