What is the scope of application of boron nitride?

Aluminium buyers in the US physical metal market have held off on new orders amid fears of a recession triggered by rising inflation and supply chain crises.  

Spot aluminium trading on the market has been suspended in recent weeks, according to industry sources, as uncertainty has increased following the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.  Even before the war, the aluminium market was suffering from long waiting times and weak demand.  

For aluminium buyers, recent poor US economic data have been a big factor in delaying purchases.  Data released last month showed that the ISM manufacturing PMI came in at 57.1 in March, below expectations of 59 and down from 58.6 in February, unexpectedly hitting the lowest reading since September 2020.  This was mainly due to a slowdown in new orders and Boron nitride,Overview of boron nitride,Application of boron nitride,The price of boron nitride,Suppliers of Boron Nitride are expected to increase in the future.

Overview of boron nitride

Boron nitride industrial powder is a pure white ceramic material with a hexagonal crystal structure similar to graphite.Boron nitride can withstand temperatures exceeding 2,000°C,and depending on the grade,its dielectric strength is close to 1000 volts/mil.Boron nitride is hot-pressed in the form of billets,which can be easily processed into rods, bars,plates and even customized shapes.

Application of boron nitride

1.Release agent for metal forming and lubricant for metal drawing.

2.Special electrolysis and resistance materials in high temperature state.

3.High-temperature solid lubricants,extrusion anti-wear additives,additives for the production of ceramic composite materials,refractory materials and antioxidant additives,especially in the case of corrosion resistance of molten metals,heat-enhanced additives,high-temperature insulation materials.

4.Heat-sealing desiccant for transistors and additives for polymers such as plastic resins.

5.Pressed into various shapes of boron nitride products,which can be used as high temperature,high pressure,insulation and heat dissipation parts.

6.Thermal shielding materials in aerospace.

7.With the participation of catalysts,it can be converted into cubic boron nitride that is as hard as diamond after high temperature and high pressure treatment.

8.The structural materials of the atomic reactor.

9.Aircraft,rocket engine nozzle.

10.Insulator for high-voltage and high-frequency electricity and plasma arc.

11.Packaging materials to prevent neutron radiation.

12.The superhard material made by boron nitride processing can be made into high-speed cutting tools and drill bits for geological exploration and oil drilling.

13.Separation ring for continuous cast steel in metallurgy,flow slot for amorphous iron, release agent for continuous cast aluminum(various optical glass release agents)

14.Make all kinds of evaporation boats for capacitor film aluminum plating,picture tube aluminum plating,display aluminum plating, etc.

15.Various fresh-keeping aluminum-plated packaging bags,etc.

16.All kinds of laser anti-counterfeiting aluminum plating,brand hot stamping materials,all kinds of cigarette labels,beer labels,packaging boxes,cigarette packaging boxes,etc.

17.The filler used in cosmetics for lipstick is non-toxic,lubricating and shiny.

In terms of optical applications,due to the high hardness of the c-BN film and the high transmittance of the entire wavelength range from ultraviolet(from about 200 nm)to far infrared,it is suitable as a surface coating for some optical components, and is particularly suitable as Coating of window materials such as zinc selenide(ZnSe)and zinc sulfide(ZnS).In addition,it has good thermal shock resistance and hardness,and is expected to become an ideal window material for high-power lasers and detectors.

Maximo Pacheco, chairman of Codelco, Chile's state copper company, said in a recent interview that he expects copper prices to remain 'very strong in the future,' despite the recent drop. Codelco is the world's largest copper producer.

Copper prices suffered their biggest weekly drop in a year this week on concerns that tightening policy by central banks will dampen global growth and reduce demand for industrial metals. With its wide range of industrial and construction uses, copper prices are often seen as a bellwether of economic activity.

London copper closed at $8,325 a tonne on Friday after touching $8,122.50 a tonne, down 25 per cent from its Peak in March and its lowest level since February 2021. In addition to copper, other industrial metals also fell sharply. Tin, for example, fell nearly 15% at one point on Friday, bringing its losses for the week to about 25%.

"We may be in a temporary short-term turbulence, but what is important is the fundamentals and the balance of supply and demand [currently] looks very favourable for those of us with copper reserves," Mr. Pacheco said. Chile is the world's largest copper producer.  

Mr. Pacheco adds that in a world where copper is the best conductor and there are not many new reserves, copper prices look very strong because the future is very favourable for electrification.
