Titanium Boride (TiB2) Nanopowder Main Feature
TiB2 has a melting point of approximately 3225°C (5840°F), which contributes to its stability and performance in high-temperature applications, ranging from molten metal processing to high-speed cutting operations. It efficiently conducts heat, which is crucial for applications requiring rapid heat dissipation, such as in electronics cooling systems and high-temperature furnace components.Titanium Boride’s electrical conductivity makes it suitable for electrical contacts and other components in power distribution systems where high durability and conductivity are needed.TiB2 is chemically stable and shows excellent resistance to corrosion, especially in acidic and alkaline environments. This property is essential for components exposed to harsh chemical conditions.Despite its hardness and strength, Titanium Boride maintains a relatively low density, which is beneficial in applications where weight reduction is a priority, such as in aerospace and automotive industries.
