Boron Carbide Powder
Boron carbide is one of the hardest materials known after cubic boron nitride and diamond. Boron carbide is used in a variety of industrial applications, including abrasives, refractory materials, and as a neutron absorber in nuclear power plants. Also, it is used in the process of armor plates for body armor.
Applications:
- Reaction Bonded Parts
