Product Properties
Vanadium Diboride (VB2) Micronpowder Main Feature
VB2 is extremely hard, with a hardness comparable to other high-performance materials such as tungsten carbide (WC) and silicon carbide (SiC). This makes it suitable for use in applications that require materials resistant to wear and abrasion, such as cutting tools and abrasive coatings. With a melting point of approximately 2980°C (5396°F), VB2 maintains its structural integrity under extreme temperatures, making it ideal for use in high-temperature applications, including aerospace, defense, and industrial processing.VB2 micronpowder exhibits good thermal conductivity, which is beneficial for applications requiring efficient heat dissipation, such as in electronics cooling systems or high-temperature furnace components.Despite its ceramic-like properties, VB2 also displays electrical conductivity, making it a candidate for electronic applications where a combination of conductivity, high-temperature stability, and wear resistance is required.
Vanadium Diboride (VB2)Micronpowder Applications
Cutting Tools and Abrasives: Due to its exceptional hardness, VB2 is used in the manufacture of cutting tools, including drills, saws, and milling cutters, as well as abrasives for grinding and polishing.
Wear-resistant Coatings: VB2 micronpowder is applied as a wear-resistant coating on various components, such as bearings, seals, and aerospace parts, to protect them against wear, erosion, and corrosion. These coatings extend the life of components used in harsh environments, significantly reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
High-temperature Furnace Components: The high melting point and thermal stability of VB2 make it suitable for components in high-temperature furnaces, such as crucibles, nozzles, and heating elements. These components benefit from VB2’s ability to withstand extreme temperatures without degrading, ensuring reliability and efficiency in thermal processing operations.
Electrical and Thermal Management Applications: Given its good electrical and thermal conductivities, VB2 micronpowder is explored for use in electrical contacts and thermal management systems, including heat sinks and cooling devices in electronics. Its conductivity ensures efficient heat dissipation and electrical performance, critical in high-power electronic devices and systems.
