Boron Carbide ( chemical formula approximately B4C ) is a ceramic material with high hardness and low density. Boron carbide is stiffer and harder than silicon carbide or tungsten carbide. Due to the high hardness and high wear resistance, boron carbide ceramic plates are widely used in the wear-resistance industry. The life-span of those products, such as nozzles and seals made by boron carbide, is much longer than other materials. Meanwhile, as a good bullet-proof property and lightweight performance, boron carbide is one of the best protective materials for the tank, armored vehicles, body armor, and helicopter.
Application: Normally used for wear resistance, Corrosion Resistance.Can be made wear-resistant lining,wear-resistant ceramic,abrasion-resistant lining, wear protect, ceramic lining, Nozzle, Boron carbide ceramic lining, Boron carbide wear tile, Boron carbide nozzle, Boron carbide ceramic nozzle
If you are blasting with Alumina ceramic, Silicon Carbide, Steel shot, or other hard abrasive and not using Boron Carbide nozzles, a lot of money is wasted. The higher cost of the Boron Carbide nozzle is very easily justified. Not only will you get longer life but save time in less boron carbide ceramic nozzle change over, use less air and have a longer consistent blast pattern which will make your production more efficient
