Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) components offer several unique advantages due to their distinctive properties:

Low Coefficient of Friction:

With a low coefficient of friction,
h-BN is an excellent lubricant, reducing wear and tear in moving parts.

Thermal Stability:

h-BN remains stable at high temperatures, making it suitable for high-temperature applications.

Thermal Shock Resistance:

h-BN can withstand rapid temperature changes without degrading, which is crucial for certain industrial processes.

Chemical Inertness:

It is highly resistant to chemical reactions, ensuring durability in harsh environments.

Electrical Insulation:

Despite its good thermal conductivity, h-BN is an excellent electrical insulator.

Non-Toxic:

The materials used in h-BN are non-toxic, making it safer for various applications, including those in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Anisotropic Properties:

h-BN exhibits different properties in different directions, which can be advantageous in specific engineering applications.

These properties make hexagonal Boron Nitride components highly valuable for the following applications:

High-Temperature Furnace Insulators:

h-BN is used as an insulator in high-temperature furnaces due to its excellent thermal stability and electrical insulation properties.

Protective Tubes and Insulating Sleeves:

It is used in protective tubes and insulating sleeves for thermocouples, for the temperature measurement in various industrial processes.

Pyrolytic Boron Nitride Crucibles:

h-BN is used to make crucibles for high-temperature applications, such as in the production of advanced materials (i.e. semiconductor industry).

Break Rings for Steel Casting:

It is used in break rings for the horizontal continuous casting of steel, providing durability and resistance to high temperatures.

Photonic Devices:

h-BN is used in photonic devices, including deep ultraviolet (DUV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodetectors, as well as infrared (IR) absorbers/emitters and hyperlenses.

Barrier Layers:

Due to its impermeability and non-reactivity, h-BN is used as a protective barrier to prevent corrosion and oxidation of metals.

Advanced Electronics:

h-BN serves as an ideal substrate for graphene-based devices, enhancing their performance by providing a smooth, insulating surface
