Properties and application of titanium diboride TiB2 powder

Gold is a high-quality hedge hedging tool, favored by investors. Especially in recent years, with the increasing instability of the world economy, gold has become one of the preferred asset allocations of investors because of its functions of hedging and fighting inflation. 

Earlier, the worsening situation in Ukraine sent gold prices soaring to a two-year high of $2,070 an ounce. But gold, along with other commodities, fell back last week as conditions changed and bulls took profits, hitting a low of $1,895 an ounce. Rising gold prices may also have an impact on the Titanium diboride (TiB2) prices. 

According to China Business News, Goldman Sachs raised its gold price forecast in early March, considering Asian buyers' gold consumption demand, investment demand and central bank gold purchase demand continue to rise. Three -, six - and 12-month targets were raised to $2,300, $2,500 and $2,500 an ounce, respectively, from $1,950, $2,050 and $2,150. The last time all three accelerated was in 2010-11 when gold prices rose nearly 70%. 

The World Gold Council has also noted that global gold demand is at its highest level in nearly two years, which is linked to a recovery in consumption and consumer sentiment to combat inflation. 

Titanium diboride TiB2 powder overview

Titanium diboride powder is gray or gray black and has hexagonal (AlB2) crystal structure. Melting point 2980 ℃, high hardness. The oxidation resistance temperature of titanium diboride in air can reach 1000 ℃, which is stable in HCl and HF acid. Titanium diboride is mainly used to prepare composite ceramic products. Because of its resistance to molten metal corrosion, it can be used to manufacture molten metal crucible and electrolytic cell electrode.

Properties of titanium diboride TiB2 powder

1. High melting point

2. High hardness

3. Wear resistance

4. Acid resistance

5. Excellent electrical conductivity

6. High thermal conductivity

Titanium diboride (TiB2) is an extremely hard ceramic with excellent mutation resistance, oxidation stability and wear resistance. TiB2 is an extremely hard ceramic for ballistic applications. In addition, unlike most ceramic components, it is conductive. It is also a reasonable electrical conductor, so the conduit material can be used in aluminum smelting and can be formed by EDM.

Titanium diboride (TiB2) is a ceramic material with high strength and hardness. Its melting point, hardness, strength density ratio and wear resistance are relatively high. However, the current use of this material may only use TiB2 waveguide to electrochemically reduce alumina to aluminum metal in important anti evolution applications. If TiB2 is EDM, other applications may develop rapidly. Can be improved. The wide application of this material may be limited by economic factors, especially the cost of densification of high melting point materials and the reduction of changes in material properties.

Application of titanium diboride TiB2 powder

Titanium diboride (TiB2) is a hard material with high strength and high wear resistance at high temperature. High density, coupled with high elastic modulus and high compressive strength, must lead to its application in armored components.

It is not affected by most chemical reagents and has excellent stability and wettability in liquid metals such as zinc and aluminum. Coupled with its high conductivity, it is used in hall-h é roult batteries produced by aluminum. It is also used as a crucible for molten metal. TiB2 is a candidate material for many applications due to its high hardness, high melting point and chemical inertia.

Ballistic armor

The combination of high hardness and medium strength makes it attractive to ballistic armor, but its relatively high density and the difficulty of forming parts make it less attractive than some other ceramics.

Aluminum smelting

TiB2's chemical inertia and good conductivity make it useful as the cathode of hall heroult battery for primary aluminum smelting. It can also be used as crucible and metal evaporation boat to treat molten metal.

Other uses

High hardness, medium strength and good wear resistance make titanium diboride a candidate material for seals, vulnerable parts and composites with other materials and cutting tools.

TiB2 is used in combination with other major oxide ceramics to form composites. The existence of this material helps to improve the strength and fracture toughness of the matrix.

Potential applications of TiB2

The current applications are almost limited to the special applications in the fields of impact armor, cutting tools, crucibles, neutron absorbers and wear-resistant coatings.

TiB2 is widely used as vaporizer for vaporizing aluminum. For the aluminum industry, because of its implantability, low solubility in liquid aluminum and good conductivity, it can be used as a selective material as an inoculant for grain refinement in casting aluminum alloy.

TiB2 films can be used to provide wear and corrosion resistance for cheap and strong substrates.
