What is Boron Carbide Ceramics
Boron carbide, also known as “black diamond”, has the chemical formula B4C. It is one of the hardest materials known and has great development in nuclear technology, nuclear industry and military bulletproof applications!
In addition, boron carbide also has the characteristics of high melting point, high elastic modulus, low density, good thermal stability, and high thermal neutron absorption cross section. It is a carbide material that you need to pay attention to!

The strong hardness makes boron carbide have excellent wear resistance, which reduces the possibility of wear of boron carbide nozzles in high-intensity operations.
At the same time, the melting point of boron carbide is very high, reaching 2450℃, which allows it to perform spraying operations under high temperature.
Lightweight is also one of the advantages of boron carbide. The lower density can reduce the burden on the equipment and improve flexibility.
Our custom-made boron carbide nozzles are made through a high-precision manufacturing process to ensure that the inner hole of the nozzle is smooth and the size is accurate! If you need customized ceramics, please choose us, we provide you with a variety of customized options!

Boron Carbide Ceramics Feature Box
High Hardness
Mohs hardness reaches 9.5, used to make high-hardness tools and bulletproof armor.
Low Density
The density is lower than other ceramic materials and the light weight makes it suitable for aerospace and military armor.
Absorbing Neutrons
Effective neutron absorbing material, can be used in nuclear industry.
Wear-Resistant
It has excellent wear resistance and can be used for high wear-resistant equipment parts.
Why is Boron Carbide Used for Bulletproofing?
The main reason why boron carbide can be used for bulletproofing is that it has extremely high hardness, light weight and high impact resistance.
The hardness of boron carbide is second only to diamond and cubic boron nitride, and it is one of the hardest materials in the world. At the same time, the density of boron carbide is smaller than other ceramic materials, which will be lighter and will not cause weight burden. At the same time, boron carbide can disperse the energy of high-number bullets and absorb it.
