The advantage of boron carbide blasting nozzle

The boron carbide is the third hard material after the diamond and the cubic boron nitride. The sandblast nozzles of boron carbide have excellent work characteristics and a good correlation "price - work life". According to the used sandblast materials, their time of usage can be from 1000 to 1200 work hours. The hardiness of the boron carbide nozzles is higher than those of sillicon carbide 8 to 10 times; the corundum ones - to 16 times, the wolfram about 34 times, and those made of steel and tempered iron - over 100 times.

Due to the extraordinary hardiness of the material, even when aggresive abrasives are used, the boron carbide nozzles have the following advantages compared for exmple to those of the wolfram(tungsten) carbide

Very long work life - 3 to 25 times longer life depending to the jet materials that are used;

Lower exploitation expenses - about 3 times lower when the most agressive jet materials are used. The usage of boron carbide instead of wolfram carbide allows the saving of $800 for 1000 work hours. (in each point if the operations!!!);

Easier support - less changes, leading to less time lost for those changes;

Easier manual operations - the nozzles of boron carbide decrease the tierdness of the operator, as they are 5 times lighter than those of wolfram cabide.
