White needle-like single crystal. Fiber diameter 0. 5 ~ 2ym, fiber length 10 ~ 50ym, relative density 2. 91, Mohs hardness 5.5. With light weight, high toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other superior performance. Slightly soluble in water, the aqueous solution is neutral, can be well dispersed in organic and inorganic solutions.
magnesium oxide and boric acid were used as raw materials, and after uniform mixing, potassium chloride was used as a flux, and the melt was obtained. Alternatively, magnesium chloride and boric acid are used as raw materials, and after mixing, an appropriate amount of water is added to knead and form, and the fibers are heated to grow to obtain a magnesium borate fiber product. After cooling, washing with water and drying are performed to obtain magnesium borate whiskers.
magnesium borate whisker has excellent mechanical properties and high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength and strong corrosion resistance with carbon fiber, is a good reinforcing and toughening material. Magnesium borate whisker reinforced aluminum matrix composites, can be used as aviation, aerospace materials, sports equipment and automobiles, bicycle pipe fittings, friction plates and other civil materials. It can be used for the manufacture of heat-resistant and wear-resistant parts such as engine piston, connecting rod and compressor cylinder. In the aspect of reinforced plastics, magnesium borate whisker has stronger performance than aluminum borate whisker, and its reinforced engineering plastics are suitable for the production of fine and small parts and ultra-thin-walled parts, which can be used to prepare aerospace components and gears, bearings, rolling equipment, etc. Magnesium borate whiskers are resistant to strong alkali and can be well dispersed in organic or inorganic solutions for further surface treatment. It is also used in the manufacture of various reinforced aluminum-magnesium alloys.
