Description

Advanced Ceramic Materials (ACM) offers high-quality Boron Carbide Plates, known for their exceptional hardness and strength. Boron Carbide (B4C) is one of the hardest materials, discovered in 1899, with a Mohs hardness of about 9.49, making it the third hardest material after diamond and cubic boron nitride. This remarkable hardness, combined with high strength, low density, corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, low thermal conductivity, and high modulus of elasticity, makes Boron Carbide ideal for various applications.

Technical Data
