Aluminum magnesium boride or Al3Mg3B56 colloquially referred to as BAM is a compound of aluminum, magnesium and boron. Its nominal molecular formula is AlMgB14, and its chemical composition is closer to Al0.75Mg0.75B14. It is a ceramic alloy having high wear resistance and low coefficient of sliding friction, reaching values of 0.04 recorded under the unlubricated case, the recorded value reached 0.02 in AlMgB14-TiB2 composites lubricated. It was first reported in 1970 that BAM has an orthogonal structure with four icosahedral B12 units per unit cell. Such a thermal expansion coefficient comparable superhard material with other materials (such as concrete and steel) is widely used.

Performances of Aluminum-Magnesium Boride product in daily applications
Aluminum cabinet ceramic has high-temperature resistance, scratch resistance, oil resistance, easy to clean, water resistance, impact resistance, long life, affordable and cost advantages.
1, environmental protection: This cabinet is the most important environmental protection. Because the whole cabinet sheet is based on particleboard and MDF as base material, even if the plate is environmentally friendly, it will inevitably use glue. Therefore, even if the cabinet panels meet environmental protection standards, there will still be some formaldehyde residues.
2, good performance: not only sturdy, environmentally friendly, and meet waterproof, fireproof, pest control three requirements. It is also resistant to corrosion, acid, clean, good oil resistance, scratch and other functions. This is any other type of cabinet that cannot be replaced.
3. Rugged and durable: durable. Yes, life in the general wooden cabinets is 10 years or less. The ceramic cabinets have a history of at least 30 years, even the same as the life of the house. The basic framework of the cabinet is made of ceramic tiles and aluminum, and therefore more robust than the general
the framework of the entire cabinet of durable wood.

BAM is regarded as the Slipperiest Material in the World
The unique composition of Aluminum magnesium boride gives it a more ideal advantage. The material exhibits excellent hardness and an incredibly low coefficient of friction.
"Its hardness was discovered by accident. We had a terrible time in the process of cutting, grinding or polishing it," said Alan Russell, a materials scientist at Ames Iowa State University.
The friction coefficient of this material is less than half of the previously recorded Teflon material. Teflon has a friction coefficient of 0.05, while BAM maintains an incredible 0.02. As a general reference, the friction coefficient of steel is 0.16.
This new material can be applied to many different surfaces as a thin coating, providing the energy and lifetime advantages that BAM maintains. It is estimated that by 2030, BAM alone can save the US industry 330 trillion kilojoules (9 billion kilowatt-hours) each year-equivalent to annual savings of about 179 million US dollars.
The mechanical properties of the material are currently being studied because it is not clear why the material retains this dexterity. Normally, a material will only show the characteristics of hardness or low friction points. This is a completely new phenomenon, and both are highly discovered in the same material.
BAM has the potential to solve the worst nightmare of every engineer: friction and wear. Friction will reduce the performance of the machine, consume a lot of energy, and greatly increase the complexity of the design. However, BAM can help relieve most of the stress by providing a super hard, incredibly smooth material, helping the machine to be much longer than ever before.
