Lanthanum Boride Material Applications
Lanthanum Boride is mainly made into Lanthanum Boride (LaB6) hollow cathode which electronic source is used as an electronic source for electron microscopy, and electron-beam exposure machines. LaB6 is also used as a size/strain standard in X-ray powder diffraction to calibrate instrumental broadening of diffraction peaks. Lanthanum Boride Powder can be further processed to various shapes of rods, tubes, discs, and specially designed forms.
Packing of Lanthanum Boride
Standard Packing:
Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities.
