Boron Carbide Uses

Boron carbide is a solid that is harder than silicon carbide or tungsten carbide. The alloy material made of aluminum is called synthetic diamond. It has been used as a coarse sand grinding material for a long time.Although it has a high melting point and is not easy to cast into artificial products, it can be processed into simple shapes by melting powder at high temperature. In the arms industry, it can be used to make gun nozzles. Boron carbide is easier and cheaper to manufacture than elemental boron, and its greater use is in the military industry. Boron carbide can also be used as a ceramic coating for warships and helicopters. It can also be used for grinding, grinding, drilling and polishing of hard materials such as cemented carbide gemstones, manufacturing of metal borides and smelting of boron steel, boron alloys and special welding.
