What is amorphous boron powder? Amorphous elemental boron is more active in chemical properties than crystalline elemental boron. Crystalline boron is very hard and often used to replace diamonds to make cutting tools or drill bits. A small amount of boron is added in the metal smelting process; on the one hand, it is used as a deoxidizer to prevent metal oxidation at high temperatures; On the other hand, it forms alloys and improves the properties of metals. Amorphous boron powder is an important energy material. As a solid fuel in the composite solid propellant, boron has a calorific value of more than twice that of carbon, about twice that of aluminium, and more than that of magnesium. Its volumetric calorific value is almost three times that of carbon-hydrogen fuel, and its density is slightly lower than that of aluminium. It has the highest volumetric calorific value. In terms of its energy, boron should be the best non-metallic fuel. And amorphous boron is irregular in shape; The large specific surface area greatly reduces the ignition temperature.
Properties of amorphous boron powder Brown powder's relative density of 1.73; The melting point is 2190 ℃, and the boiling point is 3660 ℃. At a certain temperature, it is not affected by water, bromine and chlorine. The unburned boron can be dissolved in hot nitric acid, sulfuric acid and molten metals, such as iron, magnesium and aluminium, and is insoluble in water. At normal temperatures, the conductivity is low. At high temperatures, the conductivity can be increased by doping trace carbon, which can explode in contact with hydrogen iodide. The powder and air can form an explosive mixture. When it reaches a certain concentration, it will explode when it meets Mars.
Use of amorphous boron powder Boron is mainly used in metallurgy, electronics, medicine, ceramics, nuclear, chemical, etc. It is applied as a compound or added to alloys as an additive. It can be used in the smelting of special alloy steels and the gas scavenger of molten steel, in the pilot electrode of the pilot tube in the electronic industry, in the control rod of the atomic reactor and the high-energy rocket fuel; It is an important raw material for the manufacture of high-purity boron halide and a raw material for the preparation of various borides; It can replace and save a large number of precious and olefin deficient metals; Boron and its compounds can also be used as catalysts for organic chemical reactions.
Price of amorphous boron powder Amorphous boron powder particle size and purity will affect the product's price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of amorphous boron powder. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The price of amorphous boron powder can be found on our company's official website.
