description Product Description
Zirconium boride is widely used in high-temperature applications due to its exceptional thermal stability and resistance to wear and corrosion. It is commonly employed in the aerospace industry for components exposed to extreme heat, such as leading edges of hypersonic vehicles and rocket nozzles. Its high melting point and structural integrity make it suitable for refractory materials in furnaces and crucibles used in metal processing.
In the field of ceramics, zirconium boride is valued for producing ultra-hard materials used in cutting tools, abrasives, and wear-resistant coatings. It is also investigated for use in nuclear reactors as a neutron absorber due to its favorable neutron capture cross-section. Additionally, its electrical conductivity allows application in electroceramics and advanced composites for electrical discharge machining.
