Boron Carbide Market 10-Year Market Forecast and Trends Analysis Research

Posted by Shirish Wadaskar on July 4th, 2017

Abrasive are the class of materials used primarily in metal working. Boron carbide is one such ceramic material widely used as an abrasive for the variety of industrial as well as commercial applications. The boron carbide is commercially manufactured in an electric arc furnace by reacting carbon and boric oxide. Boron carbide has an outstanding hardness property and hence offer high wear resistance. Some of the important mechanical properties include industrial shock resistance, moderate to low thermal conductivity, and impact resistance. Boron carbide is extensively used in tools and machine components manufacturing industries. The high abrasion resistance of boron carbide offers its wide usage in manufacturing blasting nozzles thereby provides long service life in the industrial environment. Owing to the outstanding wear resistance and high mechanical strength, boron carbide is one of the preferred material for ballistic applications. In nuclear reactors, boron carbide acts for absorption of neutron and in refractory industry boron carbide acts as an antioxidant. Other applications includes lapping and polishing, armour tiles, powdered metal & ceramic forming dies etc. The global boron carbide market is expected to grow at significant CAGR owing to the increasing demand for technically advanced materials for various industrial applications.
