Boron Carbide (B4C) Plates, Powders & Targets | Ultra-Hard Ceramic Materials

Boron Carbide

Boron carbide is the most significant ceramic material for ceramic armour. This carbide ceramic is employed in tank armour and bulletproof vests. Boron carbide is extremely difficult to penetrate with a single shot. Furthermore, boron carbide material is relatively lightweight, with a true solid density of approximately 2.5g/cm3. Recently, several countries are attempting to provide additional protection for their combat vehicles, not solely for soldiers.

About Boron Carbide

Boron Carbide (B4C) is an ultra-hard ceramic material known for its exceptional hardness, low density, excellent wear resistance, and outstanding thermal stability. Ranking as the third hardest material after diamond and cubic boron nitride, it finds extensive use across industrial and high-tech applications.

Its unique combination of properties makes Boron Carbide ideal for ballistic armour, abrasive tools, refractory materials, and advanced ceramics. Boron Carbide products come in various forms such as powders, plates, sputtering targets, and specialised grades tailored for different industries.

Key Applications of Boron Carbide

Ballistic Armour: Lightweight yet extremely hard Boron Carbide plates are widely utilised in personal and vehicle armour systems, including bulletproof vests, tank armour, and helicopter armour tiles.
Abrasives and Cutting Tools: Due to its high hardness, Boron Carbide is employed in grinding, polishing, and cutting applications, including nozzles for sandblasting and waterjet cutting.
Refractory and Wear-Resistant Materials: It serves as an antioxidant additive in refractory bricks and castables, enhancing durability in high-temperature environments.
Chemical and Semiconductor Industries: Used as a precursor for boron-containing compounds and in semiconductor components due to its thermal conductivity and semiconductor properties.
