Boron carbide
Also known as black Diamond, this inorganic substance has a formula B4C and is usually a gray-black powder. It is one the hardest materials (after diamonds and cubic boron Nitride).
Boron carbide, in an atmosphere with low temperatures, is stable. The boron oxidation product is lost to the gas phase and leads to its instabilities and oxidation into carbon dioxide and Boron trioxide.
The Mohs hardness for boron carbide, at 9.5, is third-hardest after cubic boron and diamond. Its hardness is also higher than that of silica carbide. Boron carbide has low density and high strength. It also has good chemical stability, and is resistant to high temperatures.
Control nuclear fission
Boron carbide absorbs a large amount of neutrons while forming no radioactive isotopes. This makes it an ideal neutron absorption material in nuclear power stations. The neutrons absorber is what controls the nuclear fission rate. In the nuclear reactor sector, boron carbide is usually made in a controlled rod shape. But sometimes it’s made as a powder to increase the surface area.
Abrasive material
The high melting temperature of boron carbide makes it difficult to cast into artificial shapes. However, it can be easily shaped by melting the powder in high temperatures. It is used for grinding and drilling hard materials, such as gemstones and cemented carbide.
Coating paint
Boron carbide may also be used to coat warships or helicopters. It is light and resistant to armor-piercing bullets.
Nozzle
It is used in the manufacture of gun nozzles for the munitions sector. Due to its wear resistance and hardness, boron-carbide sandblasting nodes will replace existing sandblasting tools made of silicon carbide/tungsten and cemented carbide/tungsten.
Other
Boron carbide also is used in the production of metal borides.

Boron Carbide Properties
Boron carbide has a very high chemical potency, neutron absorbance, wear resistance, and semiconductor conductivity. Boron carbide, one of most stable substances for acid and alkali solutions is stable at all concentrations or dilutions.Boron carbide, in an atmosphere with low temperatures, is stable. The boron oxidation product is lost to the gas phase and leads to its instabilities and oxidation into carbon dioxide and Boron trioxide.
The Mohs hardness for boron carbide, at 9.5, is third-hardest after cubic boron and diamond. Its hardness is also higher than that of silica carbide. Boron carbide has low density and high strength. It also has good chemical stability, and is resistant to high temperatures.
Boron carbide Applications
Boron carbide has been used to make wear-resistant materials and ceramic reinforcing phases. It is also used in the manufacture of lightweight armors, neutron absorbers, etc. Boron carbide, because it is low-cost and easy to make, is widely used. It can replace expensive Diamond in some areas and is commonly used to grind, drill and other aspects.Control nuclear fission
