Boron Carbide

Electro Abrasives manufactures Boron Carbide to the finest powder, in custom sizes, to meet all our customers needs. It is manufactured by a team of professionals dedicated to providing our customers the best in quality, service and support.

Boron Carbide is one of the hardest man made materials available. Above 1300°C, it is even harder than diamond and cubic boron nitride. It has a four point flexural strength of 50,000 - 70,000 psi and a compressive strength of 414,000 psi, depending on density. Boron Carbide also has a low thermal conductivity (29-67 W/mK) and has electrical resistivity ranging from 0.1 - 10 ohm-cm. With its strength to weight ratio and low thermal conductivity, it is ideal for a wide variety of applications.
