Boride Compounds
While boride compositions can be difficult to produce due to their high melting points, reactive nature and brittleness, Materion’s chemical expertise has overcome those challenges. We manufacture a comprehensive line of borides to meet our customers’ requirements.
A number of industrial and commercial users find boride compounds suited to the following technical applications due to their dependable qualities including:
- Metal-rich borides with high melting points – used for turbine blades
- Excellent electrical conductivity – used in electrical devices
- Extraordinary hardness, resistant to erosion – used for wear-resistant coatings, cathode material, cutting tools and crucibles
Materion borides are available in a variety of forms and purities including powders, granules, pellets and targets. Manufacturing processes can vary by product, application process and end use, so we customize boride compounds to customers’ exact specifications. Following are typical boride compositions:
