Ceramic beads is a high-performance industrial material with zirconium oxide as its main component. It is mainly used for metal surface treatment and has high hardness, wear resistance and recyclability. It is widely used in shot peening, surface polishing and precision casting.
Boron carbide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula B₄C.
It is one of the three hardest materials (after diamond and cubic
boron nitride), with a Mohs hardness of approximately 9.5. It is
commonly used in tank armor, bulletproof vests, and many industrial
applications such as wear-resistant materials, ceramic reinforcement,
lightweight armor, and reactor neutron absorbers.
