♦ Boron Carbide |
is one of the hardest materials known, ranking second behind diamond. Boron carbide is characterized as following:
¡¤ Extreme hardness, Moh's hardness 9.36£»
¡¤ Difficult to sinter to high relative density without the use of sintering aids;
¡¤ Good chemical resistance;
¡¤ Good nuclear properties;
High temperature, low density, resistance gravity:
¡¤2.52g/cm3, smelting point: 2450¡æ. |

♦ Silicon Carbide |
is characterized by its high wear resistance and good mechanical properties. Its typical characteristics are as following:
¡¤ Low density and high strength;
¡¤ Good resistance to high temperature;
¡¤ Good wear resistance and anti-friction properties;
¡¤ Excellent resistance to sudden changes in temperature;
¡¤ Good chemical resistance and oxidation resistance;
¡¤ Low thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity (superior
to steel);
¡¤ Good electrical conductivity. |
