Introduction to Lanthanum Boride Lanthanum boride, also called lanthanum hexaboride or LaB6, is a compound of rare earth metal element La and nonmetal element B. Its crystal structure is simple cubic, and the B atoms encircle lanthanum atoms to form an octahedral structure. Because of the crystal structure, LaB6 ceramic film made of lanthanum boride...Continue Reading

The crucible is an important vessel for scientific experiments as well as industrial productions. It is a pot that is used to keep metals for melting in a furnace. So furnace crucibles are usually designed to withstand the highest temperatures encountered in the metal casting works, which means the crucible should essentially be made of...Continue Reading

About PBN Pyrolytic boron nitride is abbreviated as Pyrolytic BN or PBN, also known as Chemical vapor-deposited Boron Nitride, or CVD-BN, since PBN is mainly obtained by chemical vapor deposition. When it comes to boron nitride, we must talk about its two main structures: hexagonal and cubic. Hexagonal boron nitride and graphite are very similar...Continue Reading

Introduction Ceramic is the general term for pottery and porcelain. The components of the ceramic material are mainly silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, potassium oxide, sodium oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, iron oxide, titanium oxide and etc. Common ceramic raw materials are clay, quartz, potassium sodium feldspar and etc. They generally have higher hardness but poor...Continue Reading
