Boron Nitride Rod (BN Rod)

Product Boron Nitride Rod (BN Rod)
Part Number BN02
Synonyms HBN rod, hot pressed BN rod

Boron nitride rods are made of boron nitride powder by hot pressing and sintering to form product blocks and then processed according to the size and specification required by customers. Its structure is similar to that of graphite.

It has the hexagonal structure, with theoretical density of 2.27 g/cm3 and Mohs hardness of 2. It has good electrical insulation, thermal conductivity, excellent thermal shock resistance and chemical stability, and good moisture resistance for molten metal, slag and glass.

Boron Nitride can be used for sintering and smelting of metal materials, rare earth, ceramics and other materials. It does not react with many metal and ceramic materials and does not bond. It can replace graphite and alumina ceramics.

NCE can provide boron nitride rods as required. Various sizes can be customized. Please contact us for the RFQ. Get a Quote Now! For other ceramic materials, please check our Ceramics catalog page.

Materials Compatible with Boron Nitride Tubes

  1. Ferrous metals: iron, copper, aluminum, nickel, magnesium, bismuth, zinc, etc.;
  2. It does not react with water and acid at room temperature, and slowly hydrolyzes with water to generate boric acid and ammonia;
  3. Rare earth, nitride.

Materials NOT Compatible with Boron Nitride Tubes

  1. Antimony oxide, chromium oxide, molybdenum oxide, arsenic trioxide, titanium carbide, etc.
  2. The melting of high lead glass glaze in 800-950°C air has erosion on BN, but there is no reaction under the protection of nitrogen or inert gas.
  3. Boron phosphate corrodes boron nitride in 1400°C nitrogen, and reacts with hot concentration or molten alkali and hot chlorine gas.

Typical Application

  1. Boron nitride spare parts for ion implantation equipment
  2. Insulating gasket and seal for high temperature equipment
  3. Boron nitride parts of vacuum coating equipment (instead of alumina)
  4. Powder metallurgy atomizing nozzle
