Zirconium Boride ZrB2
Features
This is zirconium boride synthesized by high-temperature melting method.
It has high melting point (about 3,000℃), and no phase transition until melting.
It has high corrosion resistance to molten metal and low wettability.
The sintered body has conductivity comparable to metals and high hardness.
Usage is limited in oxidizing environments.
The particle size can be adjusted by crushing.
