Silicon hexaboride (SiB₆) is another silicon boride that is insoluble in water, resistant to oxidation, thermal shock, and chemical erosion. It has high strength and stability under thermal shock, and has higher grinding efficiency than boron carbide and higher than silicon carbide.

VIMATERIAL also provides silicon tetraboride (SiB4).

Properties of silicon hexaboride

Chemical formula: SiB6

Color: black grey powder

Density: 3.0 g/cm³

Melting point: 2200℃

Insoluble in water, resistant to oxidation, thermal shock, and chemical corrosion, especially with high strength and stability under thermal shock; the grinding efficiency is higher than that of boron carbide.

Features of silicon hexaboride

High transparency, low thermal expansion coefficient, good chemical stability, excellent thermal shock resistance and corrosion resistance, as well as good mechanical strength and electrical insulation properties, anti-oxidation, anti-thermal shock, anti-chemical erosion.

Application of silicon hexaboride

In electronic components

Silicon boride is a commonly used material in electronic components and can be used to manufacture devices such as diodes and transistors. Silicon boride has the advantages of high temperature stability, high hardness, corrosion resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, etc., and has good performance in high temperature and high pressure environment. Therefore, silicon boride is widely used in aviation, semiconductor, power and other fields.

In metallurgy

Silicon boride can be used as an additive in rare earth metallurgy, special alloy smelting and ceramic manufacturing. Silicon boride can form borides with metals, which can improve the hardness and strength of the alloy, and reduce the expansion coefficient of the alloy, making the material less likely to deform.

In ceramics

Silicon boride is a high-quality ceramic material and is widely used in ceramic manufacturing. Silicon boride ceramics have good corrosion resistance, high temperature stability, high hardness and low density. Silicon boride ceramics can be used in aviation, chemical industry, power, machinery and other fields, such as aircraft engine blades, insulation materials for vacuum furnaces, mechanical parts, etc.
