What are the properties and uses of boron?

Overview of amorphous boron B powder

Boron powder is black or dark brown powder, which can react with fluorine at room temperature and will not be corroded by alkali and hydrofluoric acid aqueous solutions. Boron powder is also called amorphous boron. Boron has high mass calorific value and volume calorific value. It is light brown to gray-black powder with more active chemical properties, but it is more stable at room temperature, and will be oxidized when the temperature reaches 300 degrees Celsius. The ignition level is very high, requiring 700 degrees Celsius to ignite. Boron powder can react with oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur, and can also directly combine with certain metals to form certain borides.

 Amorphous boron is a brown powder; amorphous boron is a brown powder. Amorphous boron is a brown powder. Crystalline boron is black, very hard (approximately 9.5 on the Mohs scale), and has a poor conductor at room temperature. Element boron is used as a dopant in the semiconductor industry, and boron compounds play an important role as lightweight structural materials, pesticides and preservatives, and chemical synthesis reagents.

Characteristics of amorphous boron B powder

Elemental boron CAS 7440-42-8 is a black or dark brown powder. When it is oxidized in the air, it will prevent the internal boron from continuing to oxidize due to the formation of a boron trioxide film. It can react with fluorine at room temperature and is not corroded by hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid aqueous solutions. Boron is insoluble in water. Powdered boron is soluble in boiling nitric acid and sulfuric acid, as well as most molten metals such as copper, iron, manganese, aluminum and calcium。

Features of amorphous boron powder

The quality is stable and reliable.

This product can be stored for a long time.

Products with different granularities can be customized according to user requirements.

How is amorphous boron B powder produced?

There are two main techniques for obtaining pure boron powder: through the thermal reaction of gas and magnesium. The first technique uses hydrogen to reduce gaseous boron trichloride (BCl3), while the latter uses a combination of heat and magnesium to reduce boron trioxide (B2O3) to elemental boron.

Application of Amorphous Boron B Powder

Boron powder is commonly used in metal smelting, electronic product manufacturing, ceramic manufacturing, chemical industry and nuclear industry, etc. The specific functions of boron nitride are as follows:

1. Boron powder can be used to manufacture various boron-containing compounds, used as a raw material for the production of boron fibers, and also an important raw material for the production of high-purity boron halide;

2. Boron powder is added in the form of a compound as a gas scavenger for smelting special alloy steel or molten steel;

3. Boron powder is used as a high-energy fuel for rocket spacecraft,

4. Boron powder is used as the ignition electrode of the ignition tube in the electronics industry;

5. Boron powder replaces precious metals or rare metals;

6. Boron powder is used as a protective material in the atomic energy industry and as a control rod in an atomic reactor;

7. Boron powder can also be used as a catalyst for organic chemical reactions.
