Boron Carbide, a black powder, is the hardest of the conventional abrasives. Its Mohs hardness is 9.36, melting point at 2450°C,density 2.51g/cm3. It has following unique features: neutron absorbing, of semi-conductivity, low thermal conductivity, high grinding efficiency and no reaction with either acids or alkali etc. Boron carbide is widely used to grind and polish hard metal alloy, super-hard metal, high carbidesteel, jewel, hard ceramic and other hard materials, tomanufacture wear-resisting parts, metal cutting tools, nozzlesand neutron-absorbing rods, used as metal additive forcompound materials for military planes and as raw materials for metal boride, metal ceramic, boron steel, boron alloy and for special welding and refractory materials.
