Applications
High temperature material field:
High-temperature structural materials: Due to its extremely high melting point (3325°C) and good high-temperature stability, tantalum boride can be used to manufacture structural components that work in high-temperature environments, such as engine parts in the aerospace field and lining materials for high-temperature furnaces. Under extreme high-temperature conditions, tantalum boride is able to maintain structural integrity and stability and withstand high temperatures, high pressures and thermal shocks.
High-temperature coating materials: It can be used as a coating material on the surface of other metals or alloys to improve their high-temperature, wear and corrosion resistance. For example, applying tantalum boride coating on the blades of gas turbines can effectively extend the service life of the blades and improve the working efficiency and reliability of the gas turbines.
Hard materials and cutting tools field:
Cemented carbide additives: adding tantalum boride powder to cemented carbide can significantly improve the hardness, wear resistance and cutting performance of cemented carbide. When machining high hardness materials or performing high-speed cutting, carbide tools containing tantalum boride have better cutting effect and longer service life.
Preparation of super-hard materials: Tantalum boride itself is a super-hard material, which can be used for the preparation of super-hard cutting tools, drills, grinding wheels and other tools, and is suitable for the machining of materials with extremely high hardness requirements, such as cemented carbide, ceramics, gemstones and so on.
Electronic material field:
Electrode materials: tantalum boride has good electrical conductivity and can be used as electrode materials in electronic devices, such as capacitors and batteries. In capacitors, tantalum boride electrodes can improve the capacitor’s energy storage density and charging and discharging speed; in batteries, as an electrode material can improve the battery’s energy conversion efficiency and cycle life.
Semiconductor materials: In the semiconductor manufacturing process, tantalum boride can be used as a doping material to adjust the electrical properties of semiconductors. For example, doping an appropriate amount of tantalum boride into a silicon-based semiconductor can improve the conductivity and stability of the semiconductor.
Wear-resistant coatings and protective materials field:
Wear-resistant coatings: Tantalum boride coatings are formed on metal or ceramic surfaces by spraying, sputtering and other techniques, which can improve the wear and corrosion resistance of the material. For example, applying tantalum boride coatings to the surfaces of mechanical parts can reduce the wear of the parts and extend their service life.
Protective materials: Because tantalum boride has good resistance to high temperatures, abrasion and corrosion, it can be used to manufacture protective materials, such as bulletproof vests and explosion-proof materials. In these applications, Tantalum Boride is able to provide additional protection and increase the safety and reliability of the material.
Ceramic material field:
Ceramic Enhancer: Tantalum Boride powder is added to ceramic materials to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of ceramics. Tantalum boride can form a good bond with the ceramic matrix and improve the strength, toughness and high temperature resistance of ceramics, making them suitable for high temperature, high pressure and other harsh environments.
Ceramic composites: Composite with other ceramic materials or metal materials to prepare ceramic composites. For example, composite of tantalum boride with alumina, silicon carbide and other ceramic materials can prepare ceramic composite materials with excellent performance, which can be used to manufacture cutting tools, moulds, engine parts and so on.
