Boron Carbide is a superiorly hard material (Mohs hardness > 9) and is one of the hardest materials known behind Diamond and cubic boron nitride.\u00a0 The material is sought after due to its high hardness, abrasive wear resistance, fracture toughness, chemical inertness, and important to the nuclear industry, a high neutron absorbing cross section.\u00a0 Boron Carbide powders can be used for reaction bonded, hot-pressed or sintered ceramic applications.\u00a0 The material is therefore well suited for technical ceramics, wear parts, and other industrial parts such as body and vehicle armor.\u00a0 Other uses include refractory additives and honing sticks.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>

Boron Carbide is produced by the reaction of Boron Trioxide and Carbon at high temperatures in an electric arc furnace.\u00a0 The material is then milled and purified.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>
