Zirconium diboride ZrB2- 325 mesh 5 grams – 99.9%

Zirkonium boride – Zirkonium diboride ZrB2

Melting point: 2990 – 3040 ?C – A light grey metallic powder, chemically attacked very little by cold HCl, more rapidly by HNO₃, and is dissolved by aqua regia. It reacts with H₂SO₄ and is readily attacked by fused alkali hydroxides, carbonates and disulfides. Produced by various processes.

Useful in nuclear applications because of the presence of Boron-10. Other applications include use of its relatively high conductivity, especially for a ceramic.
