What is the main purpose of barium fluoride?
Used in the manufacture of motor brushes, optical glass, optical fibers, laser generators, fluxes, paint enamel, and can also be used as wood preservatives and insecticides. Used in the manufacture of flux and enamel; used as an antiseptic and solid lubricant for corpses. BaF2 crystals are used as ultraviolet or infrared windows and laser materials. Barium fluoride crystal is an excellent high-density optical material with excellent scintillation performance. It is also a good buffer layer and can be connected to semiconductors with different lattice constants. Barium fluoride crystal has excellent scintillation performance and fast time characteristics, which makes it more and more widely used in nuclear medicine, nuclear physics, particle physics and remote sensing technology. It also has the characteristics of good moisture resistance and high temperature. It can be used as a window material for CO2 lasers and other devices and complete machines, as well as other optical components.
Barium fluoride materials can effectively promote the preparation of aluminum-type phosphors, which are used to prepare YAG:CE phosphors in a solid phase method. Barium fluoride is also commonly used in cryogenic cooling thermal imaging systems and can be used as a substrate for certain applications. Barium fluoride does not contain oxygen atoms in its molecules and is used as a blast furnace ferromanganese desiliconization solvent to achieve high desiliconization rate and low manganese oxidation loss rate during blast furnace ferromanganese desiliconization. Barium fluoride plays a major role in the development of high-temperature superconducting devices. A layer of barium fluoride is deposited on the surface of the superconducting film (YBaCuO) as a protective layer of YBaCuO to maintain the stability of YBaCuO. Barium fluoride has a very wide range of application fields and scientific application research value.
