Boron carbide, also known as black diamond, is an inorganic substance with a chemical formula of B4C, usually a gray-black micropowder. It is one of the three hardest known materials (after diamond and cubic boron nitride) and is used in tank armor, body armor and many industrial applications. Several preparation methods of nano-boron carbide (supply 100-200nm): 1. Carbothermal reduction method Be...

Measuring the thickness of the coating layer in nanoparticles requires the use of advanced instruments and techniques. The following are possible measurement methods: Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM): This is a microscope that utilizes high-density electron beams to observe and measure the structure and properties of nanoparticles. For the measurement of the thickness of the coating layer, T...

The surface coating treatment of ultrafine powder is a very useful technology, which can improve the flow performance of the powder, reduce dust flying, improve stability and moisture resistance, and enhance the solubility of the powder. The commonly used surface coating treatment methods for ultrafine powders include the following: Wet surface treatment: The coating material is added in liquid fo...

In recent years, there has been a trend of oil-based lubricants being replaced by water-based lubricants. Boron nitride coatings are often used in forging nickel based alloys, high melting point alloys, and titanium machined parts, which not only provide lubrication but also prevent workpiece oxidation. Characteristics that forging lubricants should possess 1. Evenly moisten the surface to prevent...

What is boron carbide powder? Nano boron carbide and ultrafine boron carbide powder were prepared by variable current laser ion vapor phase method. Boron carbide, also known as black diamond, has a molecular formula of B4C and is usually a gray black micro powder. It is one of the three hardest materials known (the other two being diamond and cubic boron nitride). Hard black glossy crystal. The ha...

Powder surface modification changes the surface state of particles through physical or chemical means, with the core being to break the agglomeration force between particles. When the particle size of the powder decreases to the micrometer or nanometer level, the surface energy sharply increases, and van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds, and other gravitational forces cause the particles to sponta...
