Nature:
-Tungsten borate is an intermetallic compound.
-It has very high hardness and wear resistance, even harder than ordinary steel.
-It is a brittle material that is prone to cracking.
Method:
-Tungsten borate is usually prepared through high-temperature solid-state reactions.
-Mix tungsten metal and boron compounds (such as boron powder) evenly.
-Then, at high temperatures (usually above 2000 ° C), the reaction proceeds under solid-phase conditions to generate tungsten boride.
Usage:
-Tungsten boride is mainly used for manufacturing high-speed cutting tools and other applications that require superhard materials.
-It can be used to process various hard materials, such as steel, cast iron, and alloys.
-Tungsten borate is also used in the manufacturing of cutting-edge electronic devices and thin film materials in the semiconductor industry.
It is widely used in fields such as aviation, aerospace, semiconductors, and electronics,
such as as as thermal barrier coatings, high-temperature thermocouples, tungsten wire
heaters, semiconductor epitaxial substrates, and ceramic wear-resistant parts. It is a
ceramic material with extremely high hardness and good corrosion resistance, widely
used in various industrial and scientific fields under extreme environments such as high
temperature, high pressure, and strong magnetic fields. Has high hardness, strength, and
melting point similar to diamond. It also has good conductivity and thermal conductivity,
and can be used as an electric heating element and radiator at high temperatures. “
