Iron Boride FeB Powder CAS 12006-84-7

(Iron Boride FeB Powder CAS 12006-84-7)

Overview of FeB

Iron boride (FeB) is a gray powder that is insoluble in water. FeB is harder than Fe2B, but more fragile and more likely to break on impact. Feb is a soft ferromagnetic compound that becomes paramagnetic at temperatures above 325°C (617°F).In the air,  FeB powders begin to react with ambient oxygen above 300°C. Although a large number of FeB materials are expected to remain stable in air, FeB is a very hard compound (measured by Vickers indentation at 15-22 GPa), it is undesirable on bonded steel because the FeB layer is brittle and tends to flake off steel or iron.

Iron boride (FeB); boranylidyneironCAS No. : 12006-84-7EINECS No. : 234-489-9Molecular Formula: FeBMolecular Weight: 66.656Appearance: offwhite orthorhombic crystal Particle size: 20-40umSpecific surface area: 60 m2/g

Features of FeB

FeB has a zigzag chain of boron atoms coordinated by seven iron atoms. The boron atom has a slightly twisted single-terminated triangular prism iron atom coordination and two boron atom neighbors. The B-B single bond distance is 178 PM, the Fe-B single bond distance is 215 — 220 PM, and the Fe-Fe single bond distance is 240 — 272 PM. Each triangular prism shares two rectangular faces with a nearby prism, thus forming an infinite sequence of the prism.The FeB single crystal is occupied by the bond domain. The bond domain is parallel to the easy magnetization axis and perpendicular to the hard magnetization axis. The structure of a closed domain is described as "rows and twists of asterisks".The bond domain has an obvious direction on the boundary of the main domain, while the closed domain is rhomboid. Feel free to send an inquiry to get the latest price if you would like to buy Iron Boride FeB Powder in bulk.

How is Iron Boride FeB Powder produced?

The preparation method of iron boride FeB is as follows:

1. It is prepared by mixing boron with iron at a molar ratio of 1∶1 and cheating in argon at 1200 ~ 1300℃.

2. Reaction FeS and BCl3 in hydrogen at temperatures higher than 500℃, or from ferrous chloride solution and sodium borohydride (NaBH4).

Application of Iron Boride FeB Powder:

Fe-based coatings have recently gained attention for their mechanical, friction and corrosion resistance. Compared to the ceramic or cermet types used by humans before them, the iron-based material is relatively cheap, less strategic, and can be produced economically through a variety of thermal methods, and is easy to manufacture and machine.

Iron boride is commonly used to improve wear resistance, corrosion resistance, wear-resistance and oxidation resistance.

Iron boride is used in oil and gas refineries, chemical extraction, automotive, agricultural, stamping, textile extrusion and injection molding industries.

FAQ

Q1

What is the atomic structure of iron boride?

Iron boride is arranged in a sawtooth chain, with the iron atoms at the corners of a triangular prism and the boron atoms at the centre of the triangular prism, connected in the sawtooth chain by covalent bonds.

Q2

Is iron boride hard?

Iron Boride has high hardness, high melting point and good wear resistance.

Q3

Is iron boride magnetic?

Iron Boride is magnetic. It is composed of iron borides and possesses the characteristics of magnetism, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and very high hardness.

Q4

Is iron boride harmful to the human body?

Iron Boride is generally non-toxic to the human body, but harmful fumes and dust may be generated during processing, so please wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

Q5

Is Iron Boride Hazardous to the Environment?

The substance may be hazardous to the environment and special care should be taken with bodies of water. Waste should be disposed of following local laws.
