Boron Carbide Powders and Grains : Boron Carbide is a super hard abrasive material, next only to diamond and cubic boron nitride in hardness. It simply outclasses the conventional abrasives like aluminum oxide and silicon carbide with its superlative and cost effective performance.

Boron Carbide finds extensive applications in the Hard Metals (Carbides) industry, in the production of Tools & Machine Components, in Finishing/Lapping of numerous items, in ultrasonic drilling, in nuclear reactors for neutron absorption as an antioxidant in refractories, in welding for manufacturing hard facing electrodes and also in rocket propellants and armoured plates.

Principal Application Areas

Tools and Machine Components

• Reversible cutting tool tips.
• Valves and valve seats.
• Cylinder heads and liners.
• Cutting and punching tools.
• Gauges, cutters and reamers.
• Hardened seating and bearings.

Hard Metals (Carbides)

• Wire drawing dies.
• Extrusion dies.
• Work rest blades.
• Cold heading tools hammer heads.
• File cutting chisels.

Finishing / Lapping

• Castings & metal surfaces.
• Forging & swaging dies.
• Optical lenses & prisms.
• Sintered ceramic items.
• Compacting press tools.
• Natural & synthetic gem stones.

In Refractories

• Boron Carbide is Oxidation inhibitor and is therefore used to reduce Carbon Loss and porosity.

In Ceramics & Other Hard Materials

• For Polishing and finishing of oxide &non-oxide ceramics, Quartz, optical glass etc.
• Used for Ultra Sonic drilling and machining of ceramics and carbides.

Hot Press Boron Carbide Powders : Hot Press (HP) Grade Powder is developed and manufactured specifically for use in hot pressing applications. These powders are made by a proprietary process which control particle shape, distribution and chemical characteristics for better hot pressing and manufacture of high density components. Our vendor HP Grade powders are successfully being used by manufacturers of boron carbide components in Europe and India. Our vendor powders are ideally suited for end products into the nuclear shielding and armour applications given their high purity.

Standard HP Grades widely used by our customers for hot pressing:

Chemical Composition: All our vendor powders are compliant with ASTM C 750 Type 1 specifications

Note:
We also provide customize powders for particle size distribution and chemical composition based on
the customer requirement.

OTHER MATERIALS AVAILABLE :

Silicon Nitride : Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) is a hard ceramic having high strength over a broad temperature range, moderate thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion, moderately high elastic modulus, and unusually high fracture toughness for a ceramic.

This combination of properties leads to excellent thermal shock resistance, ability to withstand high structural loads to high temperature, and superior wear resistance. Silicon nitride is mostly used in high-endurance and high-temperature applications, such as gas turbines, car engine parts, bearings and metal working and cutting tools.

Silicon Carbide : Silicon Carbide (SiC), also known as Carborundum, is a compound of silicon and carbon with chemical formula SiC. It occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite. Silicon carbide powder has been mass-produced since 1893 for use as an abrasive. B4cINd after buying the technology from abroad started producing Sic in 1995 for various industrial purposes.

Grains of silicon carbide can be bonded together by sintering to form very hardceramics which are widely used in applications requiring high endurance, such as car brakes, car clutches, among other Industrial applications.

Like other hard ceramics (namely alumina and boron carbide), silicon carbide is used in composite armor and in ceramic plates in bulletproof vests.
