Boron carbide Overview
Family Overview
Boron carbide (B4C) is one of the world's hardest manufactured materials. Its strong chemical bonds and hard surface minimize wear in rigorous environments. Boron carbides are often used in ballistic armor, taking advantage of exceptional hardness and low density. The hardness provides excellent protection, while the light-weight maximizes mobility. Additionally, the uniquely structured boron carbide can be used for neutron shielding.
Low density
Exceptional hardness
Neutron absorbing
