Blast Nozzles from Boron Carbide
(Boron carbide, chemical formula B4C)
Boron Carbide: Material with a Mohs hardness of 9.3, extremely hard and above all very wear resistant.
Boron carbide is extremely hard and therefore much more wear resistant than silicon carbide, in fact 4 times more wear resistant than tungsten carbide. As the third hardest material after diamond and CBN (cubic boron nitride), boron carbide is best suited to the manufacture of blast nozzles.
The ratio between extremely high wear resistance and moderate price makes boron carbide the most economical material.
RBI blast nozzles from boron carbide offer the best price-performance ratio for blast nozzles when blasting with abrasive media regarding to material costs and high wear resistance.
It should also be noted that only hot pressed boron carbide meets the properties described. There is an increasing number of low cost boron carbide nozzles on the market which are made from sintered boron carbide which do not have the same high quality as hot pressed material.
We guarantee high quality boron carbide blast nozzles at competitive prices - and with the best service and advice!
