| Industry | Application | Process |
|---|---|---|
| Nuclear Industry | Neutron-absorbing material (reactor control rods, shielding materials, safety rods) | Ceramic components fabricated via powder metallurgy hot-press sintering or atmospheric-pressure sintering |
| Grinding & Polishing | Abrasive and polishing agent (for precision machining of cemented carbides, gemstones, and engineering ceramics) | Boron carbide powder formulated into abrasive pastes or bonded into grinding wheels/polishing discs |
| Defense & Armor | Armor protection (tank armor, ballistic plates for armed helicopters, hard armor inserts for body armor) | Composite ceramic armor plates fabricated by hot-press molding with resin matrix binders |
| Wear-Resistant Materials | Wear-resistant nozzles, bearing bushings, ballistic tiles | High-temperature sintering |
| Refractories | High-temperature refractory material, furnace linings | Incorporated into refractory bricks or castables |
| Aerospace | Lightweight aircraft armor, jet engine components | Composite material hot-press process |
| Mechanical Engineering | Mechanical seals, corrosion-resistant components | Precision ceramic sintering |
| Precision Instruments | High-pressure nozzles (e.g., waterjet cutting), wear-resistant components for well-logging tools | Cold isostatic pressing followed by high-temperature sintering |
| Detection Item | Common Detection Methods | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Purity (Total Boron Content) | Chemical Titration (e.g., Acid-Base Titration) | The sample is dissolved in strong acid or fused with alkali, followed by complexometric or acid-base titration to determine boron content and calculate B₄C purity. |
| Carbon Content | High-Frequency Infrared Carbon-Sulfur Analyzer (IR-OC) | The sample is combusted in a high-frequency induction furnace, releasing CO₂, which is measured via infrared absorption to determine carbon content. |
| Impurity Elements | Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) or Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) | After acid digestion or fusion, the sample is analyzed using ICP techniques to determine concentrations of metallic impurities such as Fe, Si, Al, and Ca. |
| Phase Composition | X-ray Diffraction (XRD) | Analyzes crystal structure to confirm the primary phase as B₄C and detect the presence of free boron, carbon, or other impurity phases (e.g., B₂O₃). |
| Particle Size Distribution | Laser Particle Size Analyzer | Measures particle size distribution of powders based on laser scattering principles to evaluate uniformity and suitability of the powder. |
| Specific Surface Area | BET Nitrogen Adsorption Method | Determines specific surface area via physical nitrogen adsorption, reflecting particle fineness and surface activity. |
| Apparent Density | Apparent Density Tester (Haller Funnel) | Measures the mass of powder per unit volume under natural packing conditions to assess powder flowability and formability. |
| Oxygen Content | Inert Gas Fusion-Infrared Absorption Method (LECO) | The sample is melted at high temperature in an inert atmosphere, releasing CO and CO₂; the oxygen content is determined by infrared detection of the resulting gases. |
| Microstructure | Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) | Observes particle morphology, grain size, agglomeration, and presence of impurity phases or defects. |
| Crystal Structure and Defects | Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) | High-resolution imaging to analyze lattice structure, dislocations, grain boundaries, and nanoscale impurity distributions. |
