The Earth’s crust holds 0.01% of its boron. Boron is a dark or silvery-gray solid. It is hardier than diamond but is black in colour. The crystal boron’s texture is fragile and has lower hardness. Boron is named in Arabic after the Arabic term “flux”. It is believed that early Arabs understood that borax could be used to melt metals oxides.
Boron is a brown or blackish powder. The boron in this prevents it from oxidizing further by forming a film of boron trioxide during air oxidation. Boron powder is able to react with fluorine in normal conditions without being corroded either by hydrochloric Acid or hydrofluoric Acid aqueous solution. Boron does not dissolve in water. But powdered, soluble boron in boiling nitric or sulfuric acids.
The chemical characteristics of amorphous, boron powder is much more active than those found in crystalline elemental. It is often substituted for diamonds when making tools such as drill bits or cutting instruments because of its hard nature. As a deoxidizer in the metal melting process, small amounts of boron are added. This prevents metal from burning at extreme temperatures. However, the alloy it makes improves the metal’s mechanical properties. In the case of boron, copper can be used as a control rod for atomic-reacting reactors.
Amorphous, boron-powder will quickly become an energy critical material. Its use in composite fuels has already been praised. For solid fuels, boron has a calorific factor that is nearly double that it of carbon. Aluminum and magnesium have similar values, but boron offers more energy than either. It has almost triple the volumetric calorific content of hydrocarbons fuels while its density is barely lower than that for aluminum.
Amorphousboron powder has the greatest calorific value. Boron, in terms of its energy, should be considered as the best non metal fuel. The ignition temperature of amorphous boren is reduced by its complex shape and large area.
Application of amorphous Borosilicate
1. For the production of pyrotechnic add-ons, boron is the ideal non-metal energy source. A result of its large specific surface and irregular shapes, the ignition temp of boron is significantly lower.
2. Boron powder is an essential raw material in high-purityboronhalide production.
3. An oxygen-free copper deoxidizer for smelting. A small amount of Boron powder can be added during metal smelting to act as a deoxidizer and prevent metal from oxidizing high temperatures.
4. You can use them as an alloy component to special metal products.
5. Boron powder may also be used for welding purposes
6. Solid rocket fuel
7. Car airbag trigger;
8. Magnesium-carbon Brick Additives to Steelmaking High-Temperature Furnace;
