Boron carbide, also known as black diamond, has a molecular formula of B4C and is usually a gray black micro powder. It is one of the three hardest known materials, with a Mohs hardness of 9.3, commonly used in industries such as tank armor, bulletproof vests, and nuclear power.
Boron carbide can absorb a large number of neutrons without forming any radioactive isotopes, making it an ideal neutron absorber in nuclear power plants. It has the characteristics of low density, high strength, high temperature stability, and good chemical stability. Widely used in wear-resistant materials, ceramic reinforcement phases, especially in lightweight armor, reactor neutron absorbers, and other areas.
