Calcium Hexaboride is a black-gray powder with a melting point of 2230°C and a relative density of 2.3g /cm. It is insoluble in water at room temperature of 15°C. Melting point 2200°C, grinding efficiency is higher than boron carbide, more than silicon carbide, they are insoluble in water, oxidation resistance, thermal shock resistance, chemical erosion resistance and other characteristics. It has high strength and stability especially under thermal shock. It is stable at high temperature in the air, insoluble in hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, does not react with water, can be chlorine, fluorine, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide and other strong oxidants erosion, and alkali reaction is very slow.
1.Calcium boride is used in the production of boron alloy steel and oxygen-free copper as a deoxidizing reagent. The latter is more conductive than conventional phosphorous-deoxidized copper due to the low solubility of boron in copper. CaB6 can also be used as a high temperature material, surface protection, abrasive, tool and wear resistant material.
2.CaB6 has good conductivity and low power function, so it can be used as hot cathode material. When used at high temperatures, calcium boride is oxidized, resulting in reduced performance and shortened service life.
3.CaB6 is also a promising candidate for Type N thermoelectric materials, as its power factor is not less than that of ordinary thermoelectric materials Bi2Te3 and PbTe.
4.CaB6 is also used as an antioxidant in carbon-bonded refractories.
