Borides play an important role in the process of steel hardening and show a good resistance to oxidation, an excellent resistance to corrosion and good thermal conductivity. They are often used as high-performance ceramics in applications like sputtering target for hard material coatings or cutting tools. Treibacher Industrie AG carefully produces Titanium diboride TiB2, Zirconium diboride ZrB2 and Chromium diboride CrB2.
Titanium diboride TiB2
Titanium diboride exhibits high strength, extreme hardness, good resistance to high temperatures, good electrical conductivity and excellent resistance to oxidation.
TiB2 is chemically stable against numerous molten metals.
Zirconium diboride ZrB2
In a similar way to titanium diboride, zirconium diboride, ZrB2, exhibits high electrical conductivity and good resistance to oxidation.
Chromium diboride CrB2
Chromium diborides are hard materials with excellent resistance to corrosion and good thermal conductivity.
Titanium diboride TiB2
TiB2 is used as a high-performance ceramic for the following applications:
Zirconium diboride ZrB2
ZrB2 is used as a high-performance ceramic in many applications including:
Chromium diboride CrB2
Lanthanum hexaboride LaB6
Hafnium diboride HfB2
Tungsten boride and Ditungsten boride WB and W2B
Molybdenum boride MoB
