Titanium carbide synthesis method

Carbothermal Reduction

Reduction of TiO2 with carbon black, the reaction temperature range is 1700-2100 ℃, the chemical reaction formula is: TiO2(s)+3C(s)=TiC(S)+2CO(g).

Direct carbonization

TiC is formed by the reaction of Ti powder and carbon powder. The chemical reaction formula is: Ti(s)+C(s)=TiC. Since it is difficult to prepare submicron metal Ti powder, the application of this method is limited. The above reaction takes 5-20 hours to complete, and the reaction process is difficult to control, and the agglomeration of the reactants is serious. Granular TiC powder. In order to obtain a purer product, it is necessary to chemically purify the fine powder after ball milling.

chemical vapor deposition

The synthesis method utilizes the reaction between TiCl4, H2 and C. The reactant reacts with the hot tungsten or carbon monofilament, and the TiC crystal grows directly on the monofilament. The yield and sometimes even the quality of the TiC powder synthesized by this method is strictly limited. In addition, due to TiCl4 and product The HCl in it is highly corrosive, so be careful when synthesizing it.

Overview of titanium carbide TiC powder

Titanium carbide TiC powder is a crystalline solid with gray metallic luster, hard quality, second only to diamond in hardness, and weaker in magnetic properties. The molecular weight is 59.89, the melting point is 3140 °C, the boiling point is 4820 °C, and the relative density is 4.93. Hardness 9-10. Insoluble in water, soluble in nitric acid and aqua regia. It is stable to air below 800°C, corroded by air above 2000°C, and can react with pure oxygen at 1150°C. For the manufacture of cemented carbide, also used as electrodes and abrasives for arc lamps.

Application of titanium carbide TiC powder

1. Titanium carbide powder is used for high temperature thermal spraying materials, welding materials, hard coating materials, military aviation materials, carbides and cermets.

2. Titanium carbide powder is used as an additive in the production of thermistors to improve wear resistance.

3. Titanium carbide powder has a NaCl-type cubic crystal structure. Adding 6% to 30% of TiC to WC-Co cemented carbide forms a TiC-WC solid solution with WC, which can significantly improve red heat, wear resistance, oxidation resistance, Corrosion resistance and other properties, more suitable for processing steel than WC-Co cemented carbide. Alloys such as Ni-Mo can also be used as binders to form tungsten-free cemented carbides, which can improve the turning speed and the precision and finish of the workpiece.

4. Used as tool material and additive for metal bismuth, zinc, cadmium smelting crucible, preparation of semiconductor wear-resistant film, HDD large-capacity storage equipment, is an important part of cemented carbide, used as deoxidizer in steelmaking industry, also Used as cermet, it has the characteristics of high hardness, corrosion resistance and good thermal stability.
