Boron Filaments, also known as Boron Fibers, are a type of high-strength, lightweight material that are primarily used in advanced aerospace structures and composite materials. They are produced by depositing elemental boron onto a heated tungsten wire. These fibers are also used in consumer and sporting goods such as golf clubs and fishing rods. Their high strength and heat resistance make them suitable for reinforcing composite materials like ceramics, metals, and epoxy resins.
