What is titanium diboride?
The oxidation resistance temperature of titanium diboride in the air can reach 1000 , and it is stable in HCl and HF acid. Titanium diboride is mainly used to prepare composite ceramic products. Because it can resist molten metal corrosion, it can be used to manufacture molten metal crucibles and electrolytic cell electrodes. Titanium diboride (TiB2) is the most stable compound of boron and titanium. It is a C32-type structure, combined in the form of its valence bond, and belongs to the quasi-metal compound of a hexagonal crystal system. The structural parameters of its complete crystal are: a is 0.3028 nm, and C is 0.3228nm. In the crystal structure, the boron atomic plane and the titanium atomic plane alternately appear to form a two-dimensional network structure, in which B and the other three B are covalently bonded. The extra electron forms a large π bond. This layered structure of boron atoms is similar to graphite, and the outer electrons of Ti determine that TiB2 has good conductivity and metallic luster. In contrast, the Ti-B bond between the boron atomic plane and the titanium atomic plane determines this material's high hardness and brittleness.
Application field of titanium diboride
1. Conductive ceramic material. It is one of the main raw materials of vacuum coating conductive evaporation boat
2. Ceramic cutting tools and molds. It can manufacture finishing tools; wire drawing dies, extrusion dies, sandblasting nozzles, sealing elements, etc
3. Composite ceramic material. It can be used as an important component of multi-component composite materials to form composite materials with TiC, TiN, SiC, and other materials to make various high-temperature resistant parts and functional parts, such as high-temperature crucibles, engine parts, etc. It is also one of the best materials for making armor protection materials
4. Cathode coating material of aluminum reduction cell. Because of the good wettability of TiB2 and molten aluminum, using TiB2 as the cathode coating material of the aluminum reduction cell can reduce the power consumption of the aluminum reduction cell and prolong the life of aluminum reduction cell
5. PTC heating ceramic materials and flexible PTC materials are made, which are safe, power saving, reliable, easy to process and shape, and are a new generation of high-tech products for various electric heating materials
6. It is a good strengthening agent for Al, Fe, Cu, and other metal materials.
