This is a list of prices of chemical elements. Listed here are mainly average market prices for bulk trade of commodities. Data on elements' abundance in Earth's crust is added for comparison. As of 2020, the most expensive non-synthetic element by both mass and volume is rhodium.
At higher temperatures boron burns to form boron trioxide: [51] 4 B + 3 O 2 → 2 B 2 O 3 Ball-and-stick model of tetraborate anion, [B 4 O 5 (OH) 4 ] 2− , as it occurs in crystalline borax, Na 2 [B 4 O 5 (OH) 4 ]·8H 2 O. Boron atoms are pink, with bridging oxygens in red, and four hydroxyl hydrogens in white.

This crystalline form has the same stoichiometry as B 13 C 3, which consists of boron icosahedra connected by boron and carbon atoms. [55] Boron suboxide (B 6 O) has a hardness of about 35 GPa. Its structure contains eight B 12 icosahedra units, which are sitting at the vertices of a rhombohedral unit cell. There are two oxygen atoms located ...
Soluble boron arranges in steels along grain boundaries. This inhibits the γ-α transformations (austenite to ferrite transformation) by diffusion and therefore increases the hardenability, with an optimal range of ~ 0.0003 to 0.003% B. [1] Additionally Fe 2 B has been found to precipitate at grain boundaries, which may also retard the γ-α transformations . [1]
Boron fiber is a primary reinforcement constituent in Hy-Bor, a prepreg blend of boron fiber and carbon fiber primarily used for high-performance aerospace and sporting goods applications. In the production process, elemental boron is deposited on an even tungsten wire substrate which produces diameters of 4.0 mil (102 micron) and 5.6 mil (142 ...
a The number n in the atom designation Bn,n refers to the B 12-nth icosahedron to which the Bn,n belongs. Si6.n and B6.n belong to the B 12 Si 3 unit. b,c,d The Si and B sites are in the same interstice, which is assumed to be fully occupied by both Si and B atoms with occupancies of Occ.(Si) and Occ.(B), respectively, where Occ.(Si)+Occ.(B) = 1.
The borides can be classified loosely as boron rich or metal rich, for example the compound YB 66 at one extreme through to Nd 2 Fe 14 B at the other. The generally accepted definition is that if the ratio of boron atoms to metal atoms is 4:1 or more, the compound is boron rich; if it is less, then it is metal rich.
