Application

Aluminum diboride (AlB2) is a compound valued for its high neutron absorption capability, making it an essential material for nuclear shielding applications. Produced by reacting aluminum and boron at temperatures above 600°C, aluminum diboride exhibits a structure akin to magnesium diboride. Noteworthy for its low specific gravity and impressive mechanical properties, it serves as a key component in high-temperature ceramics and wear-resistant materials. In composite forms, aluminum diboride achieves substantial longitudinal tensile strength and elasticity, significantly outperforming traditional materials such as titanium alloy and alloy steel in terms of specific strength and modulus.
