Specification of Boron Carbide Supplied Fine Powder B4c Mesh 325 Boron Carbide

This Boron Carbide powder is B4C. It comes as a very fine powder. We supply it at Mesh 325. This means the particles are small. They pass through a screen with 325 openings per inch. The typical particle size is about 44 microns. This fine size is important for many uses.

Boron Carbide is extremely hard. It is one of the hardest materials known. Only diamond and cubic boron nitride are harder. This hardness makes it excellent for abrasive jobs. It cuts and grinds tough materials effectively. Think of grinding wheels and sandblasting nozzles. It works well there.

The powder has a high melting point. It withstands very hot temperatures. It also resists chemical attack. Many acids and alkalis don’t damage it easily. This stability is useful in harsh chemical settings. It handles corrosive environments.

Another key property is neutron absorption. Boron Carbide absorbs neutrons strongly. This makes it vital in nuclear applications. It is used for control rods and shielding. It helps manage nuclear reactions safely.

We provide this powder with consistent quality. You get high purity material. Low impurity levels are standard. This ensures reliable performance. It meets the needs of demanding industries. Common uses include ceramic armor components. It makes lightweight, strong armor plates. Refractory linings use it too. It protects furnaces from extreme heat. Wear-resistant parts benefit from its hardness. Think of seals and bearings. Lapping and polishing applications need this fine powder. It gives a smooth finish.

Handle this powder carefully. Wear gloves and a dust mask. Avoid breathing the dust. Keep it in a dry place. Store it away from moisture. This powder is a versatile material. Its unique properties solve difficult engineering problems. It offers hardness, heat resistance, and neutron control.

Applications of Boron Carbide Supplied Fine Powder B4c Mesh 325 Boron Carbide

Boron carbide fine powder, specifically the 325 mesh grade, is incredibly hard. This hardness makes it valuable for many tough jobs. It wears down slowly. Because of this, it is perfect for making sandblasting nozzles. These nozzles last much longer than ones made from other materials. High-pressure waterjet cutting nozzles also use boron carbide. It resists the abrasive wear from the cutting slurry effectively.

This material is also vital for armor. It is used in ceramic plates for body armor and vehicle protection. Boron carbide plates are very hard and lightweight. They are excellent at stopping bullets and shrapnel. Its combination of properties makes it superior to many other armor materials.

Nuclear applications rely on boron carbide too. Boron absorbs neutrons well. Boron carbide powder is pressed into shapes for nuclear reactor control rods. These rods manage the nuclear reaction. Shielding components also use boron carbide. It helps block harmful radiation.

The fine powder form is essential for abrasive uses. Boron carbide is harder than most other abrasives. It grinds and polishes very hard materials like tungsten carbide, ceramics, and gemstones. The 325 mesh size is common for these precision grinding and lapping tasks. It provides a good balance between cutting speed and fine finish. Boron carbide slurry is used for wire sawing hard materials. It cuts silicon wafers and sapphire effectively.
