Boron carbide is a kind of high performance abrasive material with excellent chemical resistance and high hardness which make it one of themost important abrasives materials. It can be used in grinding, lapping and polishing tungsten carbide and other hard materials such as ceramics, minerals and glass.
Besides abrasives, boron carbide is widely used in following fields.
-Aerospace;
- Armor;
- Blasting Nozzles;
- Ceramic Composites;
- Metal Matrix Composites;
- Nuclear Technology;
- Refractory Shapes, Cements;
- Tool & Die Fabrication;
- Ultra-sonic Machining.
