Titanium diboride powder
Gray or gray-black with a hexagonal AlB2 crystal structure. Titanium diboride has high hardness and a melting point of 2980-degrees Celsius. In the atmosphere, titanium diboride has an anti-oxidation temperature that can exceed 1000. Also, it is very stable in HCl as well as HF acid. It is used primarily to make composite ceramic products. It is resistant to corrosion, so titanium diboride may be used to make molten molten crucibles or electrolytic cell electrodes.
Prepare Titanium Diboride
The most common methods of preparing titanium dioxide raw materials include: carbothermic, self-propagating higher temperature and synthesis, mechanochemical, chemical reaction, and vapor deposition.
1.Carbothermal Method of Reduction
The raw material used to synthesize titanium diboride powder is titanium oxide and boron dioxides. Carbon black can be used as a reducing agent. Long-term high temperature carbon reduction treatment in carbon tube furnaces will also result in carbon black being removed. This is an industrial process. It has the disadvantage of having a very large particle size, and high impurity.
2.Self propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS).
This is usually done by pressing the material to be reacted to a block and then lighting the other end to spark the reaction. Due to the enormous heat generated by the reaction, the reactions of the other materials cause them to react and a flame-like phenomenon is produced. As the combustion wave moves forward, the mixture of raw materials is converted into final products. You can prepare a titanium diboride product directly by using the self-propagating high temperature synthesis technique in combination with other technical means.
3.Mechanochemical reactions method (MR).
Reactant powder is put in high-energy ballmills. This causes the powder to be repeatedly crushed by the grinding balls. Through the violent friction and collision with the ball milling medium, the mechanical energy can be transformed into chemical energy. The reactants are synthesized by the reaction of these reactions. The advantages of the mechanochemical reactions method are that it is much more cost-effective than the previous two methods of making titanium diboride.
Use of Titanium Diboride
It is possible to combine titanium diboride with its composite materials and with other metals or ceramic-based polmers to create a variety of materials that have commercial value.
One use for titanium diboride is to refine grain and strengthen particles. You can mix it with aluminum-based, copper based titanium-aluminum alloys and iron-based material to improve its mechanical and physical properties.
2.Titanium dioxide can be mixed with nonoxide ceramics like silicon carbide or aluminum nitride. Or, it can be combined with oxide ceramic materials, such as alumina.
PTC heating ceramics are made from 3.Titanium Diboride particles and high-performance epoxy resin. They have the following characteristics: safety, reliability, power conservation, ease of processing, molding, and simplicity. It is used to upgrade household appliances, such as hot air heating, by making electric irons, blankets, ovens and air conditioners.
4.Titanium dioxide has excellent electrical conductivity. It is also resistant to molten metallic corrosion. This can be used for making evaporators as well as molten metal cathodes and spark plugs.
5. The good wettability and durability of titanium diboride (and metal aluminum liquid) can help reduce power consumption in aluminum electrolytic cells and increase the lifespan of these devices.
6. You can use titanium diboride to create ceramic cutting tools. This can be used to make wire drawing tools, extrusion and sealing dies as well as finishing tools.
