CarSIK-B4C is a specialized ballistic protection material engineered exclusively by Schunk. It represents a hybrid composite blending reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RBSiC) and reaction-bonded boron carbide (RBB4C), meticulously tailored to counteract diverse levels of ballistic threats.

The manufacturing process of boron carbide sounds a bit like alchemy. In industry, the carbon thermal reduction method is mainly used to produce boron carbide. Firstly, boric acid (or boric anhydride) is mixed with carbon sources such as petroleum coke, and then sent into an electric arc furnace for reaction at high temperatures of 2000-2500 ℃.

The wear resistance of boron carbide is not blown. In industrial production, it is widely used in various high wear components. For example, in a waterjet nozzle, high-pressure water mixed with abrasives washes the nozzle at a speed of 800 meters per second.

Due to special packaging techniques and protective packaging, the unique boron carbide powder will not be oxidized during storage and transportation. This powder can resist oxygen even for a long time. Huayi's production method almost eliminates the presence of free carbon and free boron in raw materials,

Characterized by outstanding physical and chemical properties, boron carbide demonstrates:

Shandong Huayi Tech New Materials Co., Ltd., as a leading global supplier of boron carbide (B ₄ C) materials, has become the preferred material for bulletproof ceramics and nuclear power core neutron control pellets due to its excellent performance and wide range of applications.

Nuclear grade boron carbide detection items: total boron, total carbon, soluble boron, boron 10 isotope analysis (mass spectrometry), free carbon, iron, aluminum, silicon, calcium, cobalt, chromium, copper, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, nickel, titanium, tungsten, zirconium, fluorine, chlorine and other chemical components.

In high-end ceramics, semiconductors, and specialized coatings, material purity and particle size critically impact performance.

1、 The 'ace feature' of boron carbide: why is it irreplaceable? King of Hardness: The Mohs hardness is as high as 9.3, second only to diamond and cubic boron nitride, more than three times that of steel, but 70% lighter than traditional hard alloys, perfectly balancing strength and weight. Resistant to extreme environments: with a melting point of 2450 ° C, it can withstand high temperatures, strong acid and alkali corrosion, and even neutron radiation, making it an ideal material for nuclear reactor control rods. Energy absorption characteristics: As a bulletproof armor material (such as tanks and bulletproof vests), boron carbide can absorb kinetic energy impact, and its protective effect far exceeds that of steel.

Preparation method of boron carbide Solid state method: This method mainly uses high-temperature solid-state reaction to react boron source with carbon source at high temperature to generate boron carbide. This method is easy to operate, but requires higher temperatures and longer reaction times.

Why Silicon Carbide? Silicon Carbide is a synthetic material that combines silicon and carbon, resulting in a compound with extraordinary characteristics: Exceptional Hardness: SiC is one of the hardest materials on Earth, making it ideal for abrasive and wear-resistant applications. High Thermal Conductivity: Its ability to efficiently dissipate heat ensures optimal performance in high-temperature environments. Superior Chemical Resistance: SiC is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for harsh chemical and industrial settings. Electrical Properties: With its wide bandgap, SiC is revolutionizing power electronics by enabling faster switching speeds and higher energy efficiency.

Technical advantages High strength and hardness: The hardness of silicon carbide ceramics is second only to diamond, with extremely high wear resistance and compressive strength, suitable for extreme working conditions. High temperature and corrosion resistance: It can work stably in high temperature environments above 1600 ° C and resist chemical corrosion such as acid and alkali, making it an ideal choice for high temperature and corrosive environments.
