Calcium Boride (CaB6) Powder is a black powder with a relative density of 2.3, insoluble in water, slightly soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid. Calcium Boride (CaB6) can react with strong oxidizing agents such as fluorine, chlorine, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, etc. It reacts slowly with alkali but reacts violently with oxidants. Calcium Boride (CaB6) Powder can be used as a high-conductivity copper deoxidizer, electronic materials, alloys, etc.
What is calcium hexaboride (Calcium Boride) used for?
1.Used as boron containing additives for dolomite and magnesium dolomite refractories to resist oxidation and corrosion and to improve thermal strength.
2.Used as deoxidizer and degassing agent for highly conductive copper to improve conductivity and strength.
3.Used as raw material for manufacturing boron trichloride (BCl3) and amorphous boron.
4.Used as raw material for manufacturing high-purity metal borides (TiB2, ZrB2, HfB2, etc.) and high-purity boron alloys (Ni-B, Co-B, Cu-B, etc.).
5.Used in the manufacture of calcium boron nitride (Ca3B2N4) and mixtures containing hexagonal boron nitride catalysts for the production of crystalline ubic boron nitride with excellent performance.
6.Used as desulfurization, deoxidation and boron enhancer for boron alloy cast iron.
7.Used as desulfurization, deoxidation and boron enhancer for boron steel.
8.Used as deoxidizer for metal smelting.
