Fine Zirconium Diboride Powder by SHS

Production of  single phase Zirconium Diboride powder by self-propagating high temperature synthesis route.

The zirconium boride can be used as ultra high temperature wear and oxidation resistant component, therrmocouple sleeves, nuclear components (boron capture), sputtering targets, evaporation boats, electride for Al-extraction (Hall- heraoult), hypersonic aero-engine components, rocket nozzles, dome for re-entry vehicle, etc.

• The syntheis time is only 5 minutes.
• It is economical as it uses low cost raw materials and does not require high temperature furnaces.
• Easy to scale up.Produced powder has Purity: > 95%, Particle sizes: 200 nm -2 pm.
• Owing  to the high cooling rates, high defect concentrations  and non-equilibrium structures exist in the SHS produced materials, resulting in more reactive, metastable and thus more sinterable products.
