Boron carbide , which price is not fixed, it is characterized by an impressive set of physical, chemical and mechanical properties. It belongs to advanced materials and is able to significantly improve a number of technological processes in the field of construction, the release of numerous types of goods and industrial production.
The substance is a successful combination of coke obtained from oil refining and technical boric acid. Today this unique compound has become a staple in many business areas.
Property Description
The compound is presented in the form of black crystals, which are characterized by exceptional chemical resistance. They do not dissolve when released into an aqueous medium or various acids, even if their concentration is extremely high. Only the action of a highly concentrated alkali solution can destroy the material when the boiling point is reached.
Do not combine with nitrogenous or sulfur compounds, as well as phosphates. Able to react with chromium when heated to a temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius. Due to the fragility of boron carbide, which can be bought directly from home, it is most often produced in the form of a powder.
Decomposes when heated to temperatures above 2450 degrees Celsius. Does not oxidize in air until the temperature reaches 600 degrees Celsius.
Scope
Boron carbide, powder and paste of which is used for the purpose of finishing products from solid materials, is also widely used in modern technology. It is an integral element of mixtures of diffusion boriding of steels and refractory metals.
Boron carbide is a material used in the most important and demanded industrial processes, including sandblasting surfaces:
- glass;
- metal structures;
- facades of wooden furniture;
- fences;
- building facades.
Depending on the size of the crystals of the substance, it can be involved in:
- jewelry;
- laboratory research as a protective layer for test tubes and containers;
- abrasive spraying;
- production of ceramic material;
- nuclear power.
Storage
The material is stored only in its original packaging in covered warehouses. The room must be dry and well ventilated. In case of violation of storage conditions, the substance loses its properties.
