Nonmetallic compound of boren. It’s tasteless and odorless. It has a small atomic radius and a large nuclear charge. It exhibits non-metal characteristics similar to silicon. Additionally, it is reactive at high temperatures. Although boron is an element having a low melting points, it comes in two forms. The harder… Continue reading
Boron nitride A crystal made up of both boron atoms as well as nitrogen atoms. Its chemical makeup is 56.4% and 43.6% respectively. Boron nitride is available in four forms: hexagonal boron nitride HBN, diamond Square Boron Nitride RBN), Cubic Boron Nitride CBN and Wurtzite Boron Nitride WBN. Boron Nitride… Continue reading
Boron Carbide powder overview Boron carbide The characteristics include low density, strength, excellent high temperature stability and chemical stability. This makes it a popular choice for wear-resistant material, ceramic reinforcement phases, lightweight armor and reactor neutron absorbers. It is also easier to produce than diamond or cubic boron nutride, making… Continue reading
