Boron carbide powder is a hard covalent compound composed of boron and carbon. It is one of the hardest materials known and is commonly used in applications requiring durability, wear resistance and high performance, mainly in abrasive tools, refractory materials, semiconductors and other applications.

VIMATERIAL produces powders with high purity, low impurities and uniform particle size, while our products are available in small packages, small MOQs and short lead times. We are deeply engaged in the innovation of inorganic chemical materials and have experienced technical team to support any new product customization and development, if you need, contact us.

Characteristics

Formula: B₄C

Molecular Weight: 55.25 g/mol.

Appearance: Black or dark gray

Hardness: Boron carbide is extremely hard, rated at about 9.3 on the Mohs scale.

Density: ~2.52 g/cm³.

Melting Point: Approximately 2,350°C (4,270°F).

Crystal structure: Hexagonal crystal system, space group R-3m, in its crystal structure, carbon and boron atoms are connected to each other through covalent bonds, forming a complex and orderly three-dimensional network structure.

Applications

Abrasives: Due to its extreme hardness, boron carbide is widely used as an abrasive material in grinding, polishing, and cutting tools, especially for hard materials such as metals, ceramics, and composites.

Refractory Materials: Its high melting point makes Boron carbide useful in high-temperature applications, such as crucibles for molten metal handling and heat shields.

Semiconductors: Boron carbide is used in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly in applications where its high-temperature stability and insulating properties are required.

Quality Control

Our products strictly follow a comprehensive quality management system. From the careful selection of raw materials, processing, strict control of temperature, pressure and other process parameters to ensure uniform particle size and stable composition of the granules; to the final inspection and factory testing, each step of the process has set up strict inspection standards. We can provide samples for customers’ re-inspection according to their specific requirements.

Packaging and Storage

Boron carbide powder is packed in double vacuum bags or bottles, and the outer package is made of carton to ensure the transportation safety.

Boron carbide powder should be stored in a dry, clean environment with suitable temperature and no corrosive gases, and vacuum packed with laminated film to prevent it from moisture, oxidization or contamination which may affect its performance.
