Description
Calcium boride is used as electrode (cathode) material and N-type thermoelectric material. It is used in the manufacture of boron alloy steel and serves as a deoxidizer for the production of oxygen-free copper. It is further used as an antioxidant in carbon-bonded refractory materials. New materials used in the nuclear industry for neutron protection, high-purity metal borides (TiB2, ZrB2, HfB2), and high-purity boron alloys (Ni-B, Co-B, Cu-b)
