VD0760 Boron Carbide (B4C) Evaporation Materials

Boron Carbide Evaporation Materials Description

Boron Carbide (B4C) is a material known for its high hardness, low density and chemical inertness. It is employed for the deposition of thin layers using vapor deposition techniques. The substance is a black, crystalline solid with a melting point of approximately 2 350 °C (2 623 K). It has a density of 2.52 g/cm³ and is available in various forms, including powder, granulate and custom-fabricated formats, thereby allowing a flexible deposition process.

Boron Carbide Evaporation Materials Applications

1. Defence: B4C is utilised in the manufacture of lightweight armour systems for personnel and vehicles. Its hardness and strength-to-weight ratio reduce the penetration of ballistic projectiles and splinters.

2. Abrasive Tools: B4C is incorporated as an abrasive agent in grinding wheels, cutting instruments and abrasive powders. This material is applied in precision machining and material removal processes.

3. Nuclear Applications: B4C is used as a neutron absorber and as a shielding material in nuclear reactors and waste storage containers. Given that it absorbs neutrons and withstands high temperatures, it is applied in safety and containment measures.

4. Ceramic Technology: B4C is employed in the production of ceramics and ceramic composites for aerospace, automotive and industrial sectors. Its hardness, thermal stability and chemical resistance contribute to improved component durability.

5. Refractory Materials: B4C is applied as a refractory material in high-temperature settings such as furnace linings and crucibles. It performs under conditions that entail extreme temperatures and chemical exposure.

6. Armour-Piercing Munitions: B4C is incorporated in the manufacture of munitions designed to penetrate armoured targets. Its mechanical properties assist in reducing resistance when striking hardened materials.

7. Laser Optics: B4C is used as a substrate for laser optical components such as windows and lenses. Its thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion ensure the efficient transmission of laser energy without distortion or damage.
