BR5748 Boron Granule

Boron Granule Description

Boron Granules are small, granular particles of the element boron. They are used in various industrial, agricultural, and scientific applications due to boron's unique properties. Boron is a very hard material, which makes the granules robust and resistant to mechanical wear.

Boron is chemically inert in its elemental form at room temperature but can react with other elements at higher temperatures. In many applications, boron granules may be used to produce boron compounds, such as boron carbide, boron nitride, and boron trioxide.

Boron Granule Specification

Boron Granule Application

• Nuclear Industry: Boron Granules are used in nuclear reactors as control rods. Boron has a high neutron cross-section, meaning it can absorb neutrons efficiently. This property is crucial for controlling the fission process in nuclear reactors.
• Semiconductor Industry: Boron is used in the doping process to modify the electrical properties of semiconductors. Boron Granules can be a source of boron in these processes.
• High-Temperature Applications: Due to their high melting point and thermal stability, Boron Granules are used in high-temperature furnaces and as components in high-temperature equipment.
• Abrasives and Cutting Tools: Given its hardness, boron is used in the production of abrasives and cutting tools, although Boron Granules themselves are more commonly found in research and specialized industrial applications.
• Research and Development: Boron Granules are used in various scientific experiments and R&D applications due to their unique properties.
• Advanced Materials: They are used in the production of advanced materials, such as boron nitride and boron carbide, which have applications in armor, high-performance ceramics, and more.
