About Boron Carbide Honeycomb

Boron Carbide Honeycomb Honeycombs are most often an array of hollow hexagonal cells with thin vertical walls. Sheets of metal can be placed on the top and bottom of the honeycomb to create a strong flat surface. Boron Carbide Honeycomb is low density permeable material with numerous applications. The defining characteristic of these Honeycombs is a very high porosity, typically 75-95% of the volume consists of void spaces. Metallic Honeycombs have found a wide variety of applications in heat exchangers, energy absorption, flow diffusion and lightweight optics. Ceramic Honeycomb is often used for thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, adsorption of environmental pollutants, filtration of molten metal alloys, and as substrate for catalysts requiring large internal surface area. The geometric structure of boron carbide honeycomb allows for the minimization of material used thus lowering weight and cost. The honeycomb pattern has a high strength-to-weight ratio. Boron Carbide Honeycomb is generally immediately available in most volumes. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available. Boron Carbide honeycomb is used in numerous engineering and scientific applications in industry for both porosity and strength.

The number of electrons in each of boron's shells is 2, 3 and its electron configuration is [He] 2s2 2p1. The boron atom has a radius of 90 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 192 pm. Boron was discovered by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard in 1808 and was first isolated by Humphry Davy later that year. Boron is classified as a metalloid is not found naturally on earth. Elemental BoronAlong with carbon and nitrogen, boron is one of the few elements in the periodic table known to form stable compounds featuring triple bonds. Boron has an energy band gap of 1.50 to 1.56 eV, which is higher than that of either silicon or germanium. Boron is found in borates, borax, boric acid, colemanite, kernite, and ulexite.The name Boron originates from a combination of carbon and the Arabic word buraqu meaning borax.
