Boron carbide nozzle is a type of nozzle made from boron carbide, a superhard ceramic material. Boron carbide nozzles are known for their excellent wear resistance and durability, making them ideal for use in harsh and abrasive environments. They are commonly used in sandblasting, shot peening, and water jet cutting applications.
