Description of Molybdenum Boride Powder
Molybdenum boride (MoB) powder is a highly durable compound composed of molybdenum and boron, known for its excellent hardness and wear resistance. It exhibits superior stability at high temperatures, making it suitable for demanding applications like cutting tools, coatings, and high-temperature components. Its chemical resistance and thermal conductivity also enable its use in protective coatings and abrasive materials. Additionally, molybdenum boride powder has catalytic properties, particularly in hydrogen evolution and hydrodesulfurization processes.

Application
Molybdenum boride (MoB) powder is used in high-performance coatings for cutting tools and components due to its exceptional hardness and resistance to wear. Its stability at elevated temperatures makes it ideal for use in aerospace and energy applications, including turbine blades and nozzles. Additionally, MoB powder serves as a catalyst in chemical processes like hydrogen evolution and hydrodesulfurization in the petrochemical industry.
Reference
- Molybdenum (or tungsten) borides are typical high-hardness and wear-resistant materials. In this paper, a novel method to prepare Mo (or W) borides was proposed by boriding metal Mo (or W) powder with h-BN at 1723 K. The experimental results showed that single-phase Mo2B, MoB and W2B could be easily obtained in both Ar atmosphere and vacuum. However, under the same temperature, pure WB could be prepared only in vacuum. At the same time, the elemental analysis showed that the residual O and N contents in the products were sufficiently low. Besides, the inheritance connection of granularity between boride products and metal powders was found by using Mo (or W) powder with different particle sizes as raw materials.
