Iron boride is a compound composed of two elements, iron and boron, belonging
to the metal boron group. Iron boride is a material with important application value,
and has wide applications in industrial manufacturing, electronics, optics, aerospace
and other fields.
The preparation methods of iron borate mainly include chemical vapor deposition,
rapid solidification, arc melting, halide molten salt electrolysis, etc. Among them,
chemical vapor deposition is one of the most commonly used preparation methods.
The specific operation is to deposit the two gases of iron and boron on the substrate
in an appropriate proportion through vapor deposition at high temperature, thereby
forming a solid FeB film. The rapid solidification method is to rapidly solidify the two
elements of iron and boron at high temperature, thereby preparing iron borate block
materials.
Iron boride has many excellent physical and chemical properties. It has good hardness,
wear resistance, and conductivity, as well as excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance. Iron boride is generally a gray black crystal with a metallic luster
and a density of 7.21g/cm ³. It is unstable in air and easy to oxidize. At high temperatures,
iron boride can form alloys with chromium and other elements, so it is often used as an
additive for other metal alloys.
Iron borate has a wide range of applications. Firstly, it is widely used in the manufacturing
of tools and cutting tools. Secondly, it is also used as a semiconductor material in electronic
devices, such as boost diodes, solar cells, thermocouples, etc. It is also used in optoelectronic
products such as optical lenses, sunglasses, and car lights. In addition, iron borate is also
widely used in the aerospace field and plays an important role in the construction of spacecraft.
In general, ferroboron is a material with important application value. Its preparation method is
simple, performance is excellent, and application range is wide, making ferroboron have a wide
range of application prospects in industrial manufacturing, electronic technology, optical
technology, aerospace technology, and other fields. In the future, with the continuous development
of new material technology, the application of ferroboron will continue to expand and deepen,
making greater contributions to the continuous development and progress of human society.
