Ceradyne Boron Products provides a high purity, high density titanium diboride for applications in aerospace and chemical manufacture. The corrosion resistance of TiB2 lends to advantages in extreme environments. For instance, TiB2 can be used as a cathode material in aluminum smelting, replacing historical graphite cathodes and thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
TiB2 has good electrical conductivity and can be shaped by EDM (electrical discharge machine) for sputtering targets.
