Uses

Tantalum Boride Powder is a high-hardness ceramic. With 6 variations available, it’s valued for properties like high strength, stiffness, hardness and corrosion/oxidation resistance at high temperatures. Potential applications include cutting tools, drill bits, nozzles, and other wear-resistant parts that operate at high temperatures. Its refractory properties also make Tantalum Boride Powder suitable for furnace elements, heating elements and crucibles.
