More info
Boron Carbide (B4C) Plate features exceptional hardness, lightweight properties, and outstanding wear resistance, making it useful in applications like armor systems, neutron shielding, and abrasive tools. Its unique combination of physical and chemical properties allows it to perform well under extreme conditions. In addition to this Boron Carbide Plate, we also provide SiC Plate, which offers similar benefits in terms of high hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability, suitable for applications where silicon carbide's superior thermal conductivity is required. Heeger Materials provides high-quality Boron Carbide Plate with reliable performance for advanced engineering and industrial applications.
