Amorphous Boron Powder Description
Boron is a metalloid element that is very hard and highly heat‐resistant. In its crystalline form, it is the second hardest element on the Mohs scale. Boron typically exists in two allotropes: amorphous and crystalline boron. Amorphous boron powder is a dark brown powder and is more reactive than crystalline boron.

FAQs on Amorphous Boron Powder
Q1: What is crystalline boron powder?
Crystalline boron powder consists of pure boron in its crystalline form. It is known for its hardness and high melting point.
Q2: What are its main applications?
It is used in the production of semiconductors, high-strength lightweight materials and as a neutron absorber in nuclear reactors.
Q3: Why is crystalline boron powder valued in industrial applications?
Its hardness, thermal stability and the ability to enhance the mechanical properties of alloys are recognised as factors in its industrial use.
