Description
Zirconium Diboride (ZrB₂) Micron Powder, Purity: 99.5%, Size: 1–3 µm
Zirconium Diboride (ZrB₂) Micron Powder is a high-performance ceramic material valued for its exceptional hardness, thermal conductivity, and chemical stability. With a purity of 99.5% and an average particle size of 1–3 µm, ZrB₂ is widely used in industries that demand materials capable of withstanding extreme environments.
Its high melting point (~3040 °C) and oxidation resistance make it suitable for ultra-high-temperature applications such as aerospace, defense, and nuclear engineering. Zirconium diboride also offers excellent electrical conductivity, enabling its use in electronic and structural applications where other ceramics fail.
