Borax decahydrate, also known as borax decahydrate, is a common boron compound with the chemical formula Na2B4O7 · 10H2O. It is generated by the reaction of boric acid (H3BO3) and alkali metal hydroxides in water. This compound is a colorless crystal that is solid at room temperature and can dissolve in water.
Borax decahydrate has multiple uses in industry and daily life. The following are some main uses:
Borax has good cleaning ability and can effectively remove various types of dirt, including grease, dust, sweat, etc., making the surface cleaner. Borax has certain antibacterial and bactericidal effects, which can eliminate some bacteria and fungi and help maintain a clean surface. Borax can enhance the cleaning effect of cleaning agents, making it easier to remove stubborn dirt, and improving the adhesion of cleaning agents on the surface, prolonging their action time.
Borax can serve as an oxidant to help remove oxides from metal surfaces during welding. This helps to improve the surface cleanliness of the welding area, thereby promoting the quality and stability of the welded joint. Borax can lower the melting point of solder, making it easier to melt and flow in the welding area. This helps to improve the efficiency of welding and ensures that the welding material fully wets the welding surface. Borax can form a protective oxide film during the welding process to prevent re oxidation of the welding area. This helps to reduce the oxidation reaction on the metal surface during the welding process and maintain the quality of the welded joint.
Borax is often used as a deoxidizer in metallurgy. In some smelting processes, especially in steel smelting, borax can react with oxygen to reduce it to water, effectively removing oxygen from the metal melt, reducing the formation of oxides, and improving the purity and quality of the metal. Borax can be used as an alloy additive to improve the properties of metal alloys. By adding an appropriate amount of borax to metal alloys, the hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and other properties of the alloy can be improved, making it more suitable for specific industrial applications.
