Calcium boride (sometimes calcium hexaboride) is a compound of calcium and boron with the chemical formula CaB6. It has the cubic structure typical for metal hexaborides, with octahedral units of 6 boron atoms combined with calcium atoms. CaB6 and lanthanum-doped CaB6 both show weak ferromagnetic properties.
VIMATERIAL also provides other borides, such as aluminum boride (AlB2, AlB12), titanium boride (TiB2), zirconium boride (ZrB2)… Any requirements, please contact us.

Density:2.45 g/cm3
Melting point:2,235 °C (4,055 °F; 2,508 K)
Solubility in water:insoluble
Calcium hexaboride is used in the manufacturing of boron-alloyed steel and as a deoxidation agent in production of oxygen-free copper. The latter results in higher conductivity than conventionally phosphorus-deoxidized copper owing to the low solubility of boron in copper.
Calcium boride can also serve as a high temperature material, surface protection, abrasives, tools, and wear resistant material.
Calcium boride is highly conductive, has low work function, and thus can be used as a hot cathode material. When used at elevated temperature, calcium hexaboride will oxidize degrading its properties and shortening its usable lifespan.
Calcium boride is also a promising candidate for n-type thermoelectric materials, because its power factor is larger than or comparable to that of common thermoelectric materials Bi2Te3 and PbTe.
Calcium boride also can be used as an antioxidant in carbon bonded refractories.
Our products implement the most stringent quality management system. There are strict inspection standards for incoming materials, processes, final inspections, and factory inspections. Strict isolation measures will be adopted for unqualified processing to prevent unqualified products from flowing into the next process. Samples will be provided to customers according to customer requirements for re-inspection.
Inner vacuum packaging, outer carton packaging.
This product should be sealed and stored in a dry and cool environment. It should not be exposed to the air for a long time to prevent moisture from causing agglomeration, which will affect the dispersion performance and use effect. In addition, it should be avoided from heavy pressure and contact with oxidants. It should be transported as ordinary cargo.
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.
