ʻO Boron Carbide (B4C), i ʻike ʻia he daimana ʻeleʻele, me ka paʻakikī Vickers o >30 GPa, ʻo ia ke kolu o ka mea paʻakikī ma hope o ke daimana a me ka cubic boron nitride. He pauku kea kiʻekiʻe ka Boron carbide no ka absorption o nā neutrons (ʻo ia hoʻi nā waiwai pale maikaʻi e kūʻē i nā neutrons), kūpaʻa i ka radiation ionizing a me ka hapa nui o nā kemika. He mea kūpono ia no nā noi hana kiʻekiʻe ma muli o kona hui pū ʻana o nā waiwai. ʻO kona paʻakikī koʻikoʻi e lilo ia i pauka abrasive kūpono no ka lapping, polishing a me ka ʻoki ʻana i ka wai o nā metala a me nā seramika.
He mea koʻikoʻi ka Boron carbide me ka māmā māmā a me ka ikaika mechanical. Loaʻa i nā huahana UrbanMines ka maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe a me nā kumukūʻai hoʻokūkū. Loaʻa iā mākou ka ʻike nui i ka hoʻolako ʻana i nā ʻano huahana B4C. Manaʻolana hiki iā mākou ke hāʻawi i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo kōkua a hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi ʻike maikaʻi o ka boron carbide a me kāna mau hoʻohana like ʻole.
