I-Boron Carbide (B4C), eyaziwa ngokuba yidayimani emnyama, yinto yesithathu enzima emva kwedayimani kunye neCubic Boron Nitride.

Ngenxa yeempawu zayo ezimangalisayo, iBoron Carbide isetyenziswa kakhulu kumashishini afuna ukuxhathisa okuqinileyo kunye nokuqina kokwaphuka.

I-Boron Carbide ikwaqhele ukusetyenziswa kwizixhobo zenyukliya njengezintonga zokulawula, imathiriyeli ekhuselayo, kunye nezixhobo zokujonga i-neutron ngenxa yokukwazi ukufunxa i-neutron ngaphandle kokuvelisa ii-radionuclides ezihlala ixesha elide. 

I-Wintrustek ivelisa i-Boron Carbide ceramics ngaphakathiamabanga amathathu ubunyulukunye nokusebenzisaiindlela ezimbini zokucoca:

I-96% (iSintering ngaphandle koxinzelelo)

98% (Hot Press Sintering)

99.5% ibakala leNyukliya (Hot Press Sintering)
