Silicon Hexaboride,CAS #: 12008-29-6

E FORU specializes in producing high purity   Silicon Hexaboride,CAS #: 12008-29-6  with the smallest possible average grain sizes,Purities may include 99%, 99.9%, 99.99%, 99.999% and 99.9999%, which are sometimes referred to as 2N, 3N, 4N, 5N and 6N. 99.99995% (6N5), and in some cases up to 99.99999% (7N) and 99.999999% (8N),Our standard powder particle sizes average in the range of - 325 mesh, - 200 mesh,- 100 mesh, 10-50 microns and submicron ( 1 micron). We can also provide  in the nanoscale range.Powders are also useful in any application where high surface areas are desired such as water treatment and in fuel cell and solar applications. Nanoparticles also produce very high surface areas.Production of metallic Boride materials including  cobalt Boride, chromium Boride, hafnium Boride, molybdenum Boride, niobium Boride, tantalum Boride, titanium Boride, vanadium Boride, zirconium Boride, and numerous others.Borides are chemical compounds formed when boron bonds with a less electronegative element. Borides are all hard, high-melting-point materials with metal-like conductivity. They can be made by direct combination of the elements at high temperatures or, more usually, by high-temperature reduction of a mixture of the metal oxide and boron oxide using carbon or aluminium. Chemically, they are stable to non-oxidizing acids but are attacked by strong oxidizing agents and by strong alkalis. Borides can be classified loosely as boron-rich or metal-rich. The generally accepted definition is that if the ratio of boron atoms to metal atoms is 4:77 or more the compound is boron-rich, if it is less, then it is metal-rich.Borides formed with transition metals tend to form metal-rich borides. Metal-rich borides are typically inert and have high melting temperatures. Quality inspection department staff which uses atomic spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, glow discharge mass spectroscopy (GDMS), and BET surface area analysis, among other technologies, to ensure that the elemental composition and structural properties of each product rigorously adhere to our standards.
