Amorphous Boron Powder Properties And Applications

Boron Powder can also be called monomer boron. Both the mass and volume calorific values are high for boron. Boron is a gray-brown powder with active chemical properties. However, it is not stable at normal room temperature and will oxidize when temperatures reach 300 degrees Celsius.

Boron is either a silver-gray or black solid. Crystal boron, which is black in color, has the second highest hardness of diamonds and a brittle surface texture. Borax is able to melt metals oxides. It’s also used as a flux for welding.

Boron’s weight is only second to beryllium in terms of volumetric heat. Boron is insoluble in water but slightly soluble with nitric acids. Amorphous boron powder is chemically reactive, and can be combined with air to form explosive mixtures.

Elemental Boron is a powdery black or dark brown color. When the boron is oxidized, a diboron-trioxide film forms. This prevents boron to continue oxidizing. Boron powder is resistant to hydrochloric and hydrofluoric aqueous acids and can react with fluorine.

Boron is used for metal smelting and electronic product manufacturing. It’s also widely used in ceramic manufacturing, the chemical industry, nuclear industry, and other industries. These are the applications of boron:

1. Boron powders can be used as raw materials to produce boron fibres and are important raw materials in the production high-purity of boron halid;

2. Boron compound is used as a gas absorber in the smelting process of special alloyed steel or molten metal;

3. Boron powder is used in rocket fuel to provide high energy.

4. The electronic industry uses a powdered form of Boron as the ignition electrode for the ignition tubes;

5. Boron can be used to replace precious or rare metals.

6. Boron is used in the atomic energy sector as a protection material and for the control rod of the atomic power reactor.
