Supplier of high purity silicon boride

After Russia pledged to scale back its military operations around Kyiv and in northern Ukraine, the prices of most industrial metals fell, led by aluminum, showing people's concerns for supply shortage eased.

At an earlier time, the West imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, which aroused concerns about the supply problem because Russia is a major producer of nickel, aluminum, and copper. 

Russia is also a major gas supplier to Europe, where potential supply disruptions are seen as hitting power-intensive aluminum and zinc Silicon boride SiB6 powder ,Overview of Silicon boride SiB6 powder ,Silicon boride SiB6 powder application,Silicon boride SiB6 powder price,Silicon boride SiB6 powder supplier are still very uncertain.

Overview of Silicon boride SiB6 powder  

Silicon boride (also known as borosilicide) is a lightweight ceramic compound composed of silicon and boron. There are silicon triboride, silicon tetraboride, silicon hexaboride and so on.

Silicon hexaboride or hexaborosilicide is a glossy black-grey powder. The chemical formula is SiB6. The molecular weight is 92.95. The relative density is 2.47 g/cm3 and the melting point is 2200 ℃. The hardness is between diamond and ruby. Silicon hexaboride can conduct electricity. It is insoluble in water. Surfaces are oxidized when heated in chlorine and water vapor.

The SiB6 crystal structure consists of interconnected icosahedrons (polyhedra with 20 faces), icosahedrons (polyhedra with 26 faces), and isolated silicon and boron atoms.

It is insoluble in water and resists oxidation, thermal shock and chemical attack. Especially under thermal shock, it has high strength and stability. The grinding efficiency is higher than that of boron carbide.

Surface oxidation occurs when SiB6 is heated in air or oxygen and attacked by boiling sulfuric acid and fluorine, chlorine and bromine at high temperatures. Borides are conductive. Hexaborides have low thermal expansion coefficients and high thermal neutron cross sections.

Silicon boride SiB6 powder application

Silicon boride SiB6 powder can be used as various standard abrasives to grind cemented carbide. It is also used as engineering ceramic materials, sandblasting nozzles, manufacturing gas engine blades and other special-shaped sintered parts and seals. Used as an antioxidant for refractory materials.
