Advanced ceramic powders

Boride Powders

Metal boride powders including diborides and hexaborides. Define the exact compound and phase before comparing particle and processing requirements.

Powder material specimens; appearance reference

Choose a material

Transition-metal diborides

Compare the metal-boron identity and target phase. Particle distribution, oxygen and secondary phases belong alongside the intended ceramic process.

Lanthanum and cerium hexaborides

LaB6 and CeB6 have different compositions from the diborides above. Keep the full formula and intended evaluation in the specification.

Magnesium diboride

For MgB2, record the phase and impurity limits relevant to the research task, together with supplied condition and particle requirements.

Material selection guide

Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet.

Compound & phase

Keep TiB2, ZrB2, HfB2, LaB6 and the other boride identities distinct. State any secondary-phase limits.

Powder specification

Specify particle distribution, oxygen, free boron/carbon and critical metallic impurities as applicable to the material.

Application evidence

Connect the candidate to ceramic processing, high-temperature, electronic or research use. Request the evidence needed for your own evaluation.

Before you choose

Does a common boride family label establish equivalent behavior?

No. Diborides and hexaborides have distinct material identities. Choose by the exact compound and your process requirements, rather than treating the family name as a grade.

What does this directory cover?

Boron carbide, boron nitride and elemental boron are different chemistries and are linked from their appropriate directories.

What to include in your request

A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.

  • Full boride formula and phase limits
  • Particle distribution and morphology
  • Oxygen and critical impurity limits
  • Intended process, sample and batch records

Quantity, samples and documents

Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums.

We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
