Description
Advanced Ceramic Materials (ACM) offers high-quality Boron Carbide Bulletproof Plates, known for their exceptional hardness and strength. Boron Carbide (B4C) is a tough ceramic material, discovered in 1899, with a Mohs hardness of about 9.49, making it the third hardest material known after diamond and cubic boron nitride. This remarkable hardness and strength make boron carbide an ideal material for use in industries where wear resistance and abrasion resistance are crucial. Boron carbide is widely used as a protective coating and in manufacturing abrasive materials.
