Applications
Abrasives & Polishing:
Thanks to its extreme hardness (close to diamond), B₄C is extensively used in precision polishing, lapping, and as a loose abrasive in water jet cutting systems.
Nuclear Applications:
Boron carbide’s high neutron absorption cross-section and low radioactivity make it ideal for neutron shielding, control rods, and reactor safety components.
Armor & Ballistics:
Used in lightweight ceramic armor systems, including body armor, vehicle armor, and tank shields, due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance.
Engineering Ceramics & Refractories:
Used in the production of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant components, such as nozzles, seal faces, and high-temperature parts.
