Cell Lab Chromium Diboride Powder [CrB₂, 99% Purity, High Hardness] – Advanced Ceramic Powder for Coatings and Composites

High-purity chromium diboride for hard coatings, MMC reinforcement, and high-temperature applications

The Cell Lab Chromium Diboride (CrB₂) Powder is a high-purity (99%) ceramic material valued for its exceptional hardness, oxidation resistance, and high-temperature stability. As a refractory boride, CrB₂ combines metallic conductivity with ceramic-grade durability, making it ideal for metal matrix composites (MMCs), spark plasma sintering (SPS), thermal spray coatings, and cutting tool production.

With a melting point of 2,170 °C and excellent corrosion resistance, this powder performs reliably in harsh industrial, aerospace, and research environments. It is also used in electrode fabrication for electron microscopy and vacuum systems, where dimensional stability under heat and vacuum is critical.

FAQ

Q1: What makes CrB₂ superior to other borides like TiB₂?
CrB₂ offers a better balance of oxidation resistance and thermal conductivity, making it more stable in oxidative or high-temperature atmospheres.

Q2: Can this powder be used for thermal spray applications?
Yes. It is ideal for plasma or HVOF coating processes due to its high melting point and bonding strength.

Q3: What particle size range is available?
Standard particle size distribution is suitable for most coating and sintering uses; custom grades can be supplied on request.

Q4: How should CrB₂ be stored?
Keep sealed in a dry, inert environment to prevent oxidation or moisture absorption.

Q5: Is it compatible with metallic binders?
Yes. It integrates well into Ni, Co, or Fe-based matrices for MMC or thermal-spray composites.
