Titanium Carbide Powder

Titanium Carbide Powder Description

Titanium carbide (TiC) is a gray metallic powder with a cubic system structure. It has an elastic modulus of approximately 400 GPa and a shear modulus of 188 GPa. With high-wear resistance, perfect corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance, TiC powder is usually applied to thermal surfacing techniques, such as powder welding, oxyacetylene spraying or overlaying, HVOF/HAFA spraying, plasma transferred arc (PTA) overlaying, plasma spraying, laser overlaying, induction melting overlaying. TiC powder is widely used in oil exploration, aerospace, mine excavation, machinery tools, marine facilities, and other fields. As hardness material, it's widely used as the thermal spray coating powder material, the welding material, the flinty membranous material, the military aviation material, the hard alloy, and the cermet.

Tool bits without tungsten content can be made of titanium carbide in nickel-cobalt matrix cermet, enhancing the cutting speed, precision, and smoothness of the work piece.

The resistance to wear, corrosion, and oxidation of a tungsten carbide–cobalt material can be increased by adding 6–30% of titanium carbide to tungsten carbide. This forms a solid solution that is more brittle and susceptible to breakage.

Titanium carbide is used in preparation of cermets, which are frequently used to machine steel materials at high cutting speed. It is also used as an abrasion-resistant surface coating on metal parts, such as tool bits and watch mechanisms. Titanium carbide is also used as a heat shield coating for atmospheric reentry of spacecraft.
