Titanium carbide TiC is an extremely hard refractory ceramic material

Overview of Titanium Carbide TiC Powder

Titanium carbide TiC is an extremely hard (Mohs 9–9.5) refractory ceramic material, similar to tungsten carbide. Appearance is black powder with sodium chloride (face-centered cubic) crystal structure.

The chemical formula is TiC, and the molecular weight is 59.89. Gray metallic face-centered cubic lattice solid. The melting point is 3140±90℃, the boiling point is 4820℃, and the relative density is 4.93. Hardness is greater than 9. Insoluble in water, soluble in nitric acid and aqua regia. It is stable to air at lower than 800°C, corroded by air at higher than 2000°C, and can react with pure O2 at 1150°C. Production method: The mixture of titanium powder and carbon obtained by reducing TiO2 by hydrogen is acted at high temperature, or TiO2 and carbon powder are mixed and pressed into a block, then heated to 2300-2700 ° C in an electric furnace and carbonized in H2 or CO atmosphere And get. It is used to make cemented carbide, and also used as electrodes and abrasives for arc lamps.

It exists in nature as the very rare mineral khamrabaevite – (Ti,V,Fe)C. It was discovered in 1984 on Mount Alxa in the Chatkar district of the Soviet Union (modern Kyrgyzstan) near the Uzbek border. The mineral is named after Ibragim Khamrabaevich Khamrabaev, head of the Department of Geology and Geophysics in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Its crystal size ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 mm, as found in nature.

Tungsten-free tips are available with titanium carbide in nickel-cobalt-based cermets, improving the cutting speed, accuracy and finish of the workpiece.

The wear resistance, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of tungsten carbide-cobalt materials can be improved by adding 6-30% titanium carbide to tungsten carbide. This forms a more brittle and more fragile solid solution. Titanium carbide can be etched using reactive ion etching.

Application of Titanium Carbide TiC Powder

Titanium carbide powder is used in high temperature thermal spray materials, welding materials, hard coating materials, military aerospace materials, carbides and cermets.

Titanium carbide is used to make cermets, usually for machining steel at high cutting speeds. It is also used as a wear-resistant surface coating for metal parts, such as tool bits and watch mechanisms. Titanium carbide is also used as a thermal barrier coating for spacecraft re-entry. Aluminum alloy 7075 (AA7075) is nearly as strong as steel, but one-third the weight. Using AA7075 thin rods with TiC nanoparticles allows welding of larger alloy pieces without cracking caused by phase segregation.
