Boron Powder is a fine, powdered form of elemental boron, a metalloid known for its high hardness, thermal resistance, and chemical stability. It is widely used in industries like metallurgy, electronics, aerospace, and nuclear due to its unique physical and chemical properties. B powder is highly reactive and can be utilized in various applications, from energy storage to high-strength materials.
Formula: B.
Appearance: Fine black or dark brown powder.
Melting point：2349 K (2076 °C, 3769 °F)
Boiling point：4200 K (3927 °C, 7101 °F)
Density: About 2.34 g/cm³ for the crystalline form.
Structure: Amorphous or crystalline, with the amorphous form being more reactive and commonly used in pyrotechnics and energy applications.
Hardness: B has high hardness, ranking just below diamonds, which makes it useful in abrasives and cutting tools.
Thermal Conductivity: Good thermal conductor, though it is more commonly valued for its heat resistance.
Metallurgy: Used as an alloying agent to improve the hardness and strength of steel and other metals. It enhances wear resistance and corrosion protection.
Electronics and Semiconductors: B is used in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly for doping silicon to alter its conductivity.
Nuclear Industry: B has a high neutron absorption cross-section, making it essential in nuclear reactors as a control material and in radiation shielding.
Pyrotechnics and Combustion: Due to its high energy release when oxidized, boron powder is used in rocket fuel, explosives, and pyrotechnic applications.
Aerospace: Added to composite materials to improve strength and thermal stability in aerospace components.
Battery Materials: Research explores boron-based compounds for energy storage and battery applications due to their potential to enhance energy density and stability.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
