Titanium diboride

Titanium diboride (TiB2) is unique ceramic compound known for its excellent resistance to mechanical erosion. It is unique among ceramics because it is a reasonably good electrical conductor. Common industrial applications of titanium diboride include wear-resistant coatings, ceramic cutting tools, ceramic components and material for anodes in aluminum smelting. ApexChem titanium boride is carefully tested for consistency between batches and is the perfect choice for a wide variety of industrial applications.

Chromium boride

Chromium boride (CrB2) is a metal boride that offers superior performance when used as a coating in corrosive-wear environments. The high-hardness, corrosion-resistant chromium diboride coating is most often deposited by the sputtering of hot-pressed or sintered ceramic targets. In addition to a coating/hardening agent, CrB2 is also used as a welding flux and in self-propagating synthesis reactions.
