Hardness second only to diamond! It also excels in heat resistance and corrosion resistance.
Boron carbide (B4C) is a ceramic with hardness following diamond and cubic boron nitride. In addition to its applications as an abrasive for precision grinding of cemented carbide molds, processing of cemented carbide parts, and polishing of gemstones, it is also used in refractory materials, neutron absorbers, and SiC sintering aids. 【Features】 - Hard abrasive material - Usable in refractory materials, SiC sintering aids, etc. - Slows down neutron particle velocity - Non-magnetic - Does not react with acids or alkalis - Heat and corrosion resistant - High wear resistance For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Company information
Powders are used in places you might not expect. You may know that teacups and rice bowls are made by hardening and firing clay, but did you know that the paper on your desk contains stone powder? Automobile tires are not made of rubber alone, and glass is made by melting sand. We contribute to society by supplying powders in various forms to industries that utilize them.
