Analysis on the development trend of China's boron carbide industry
Boron carbide is a kind of boride with very high hardness. Because of its high temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, high strength, high chemical stability, light specific gravity, etc., it is widely used in the grinding, grinding, drilling, etc. of hard materials, machinery, aerospace, defense, electronics, Bulletproof armor, chemical additives, refractory materials and many other fields. Because boron carbide has excellent neutron absorption and radiation resistance, it is used as a control material and shielding material for nuclear reactors.
However, due to its high melting point, boron carbide is not easy to be cast into artificial products, so it is usually processed into simple shapes through high-temperature smelting. Dalian Jinma Boron Industry adopts the hot-pressing sintering method, so that the boron carbide series products can be manufactured into curved panels with complex shapes under the condition that the physical properties remain unchanged, and the technology is leading.
