Borides
Titanium Diboride
Titanium diboride, TiB2, has high hardness, good thermal shock resistance, a high melting point, chemical inertness and durability, good thermal and electrical conductivity.
It has various structural applications, specifically in the armor and wear resistant industries due to its exceptionally hard nature.
At Diamorph, one of the applications of TiB2 is in the use of functionally graded material where it gradually shifts from titanium diboride to a combination of titanium and titanium diboride, combining the ceramic’s ability to absorb energy with the toughness of a metal - ideal for vehicle armor solutions.
