Boron carbide (chemical formula approximately B4C) is an extremely hard boron-carbon ceramic and covalent material with many industrial applications. With a Vickers hardness of \"30 GPa, it is one of the hardest materials known, second only to cubic boron nitride and diamond.
Purity: 99%
CAS: 12069-32-8
The ability of boron carbide to absorb neutrons without forming long-lived radioactive nuclides makes it attractive as an absorber for neutron radiation generated by nuclear power plants and antipersonnel neutron bombs.
The nuclear applications of boron carbide include shielding, control rods, and particle closure. In control rods, boron carbide is usually powdered to increase its surface area.
