Summary
Advanced fine ceramics combining ultra-high hardness with light weight.
HC-BC is an ultra-hard ceramics with a hardness second only to that of diamond and cubic boron nitride, yet it also has the distinctive feature of being very light due to its low specific gravity.
For this reason, it is widely used in applications that require materials to be “strong yet lightweight,” such as bulletproof plates and various types of armor.
In addition, because it absorbs neutrons well, it is used as a neutron shielding and control material in the nuclear power industry.
It also offers excellent wear and chemical resistance, making it suitable for nozzles, liners, and other components that come into prolonged contact with slurries and powders.
The combination of high hardness, light weight, neutron absorption, and chemical resistance is a major strength.
