Overview of Titanium Carbide
Titanium carbide TiC is an extremely hard (Mohs 9–9.5) refractory ceramic material, similar to tungsten carbide. It has the appearance of black powder with the sodium chloride (face-centered cubic) crystal structure.
It occurs in nature as a form of the very rare mineral khamrabaevite. It was discovered in 1984 on Mount Arashan in the Chatkal District, USSR (modern Kyrgyzstan), near the Uzbek border. The mineral was named after Ibragim Khamrabaevich Khamrabaev, director of Geology and Geophysics of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. As found in nature its crystals range in size from 0.1 to 0.3mm.
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 workpiece.
The resistance to wear, corrosion, and oxidation of 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 can be etched with reactive-ion etching.

Application of Titanium Carbide TiC Powder
Titanium carbide is used in the 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.
As an additive for cutting tool materials and metal bismuth, zinc, cadmium melting bismuth, preparation of semiconductor wear-resistant film, HDD large-capacity memory device.
The most important use of titanium carbide is as an additive for cutting tool materials and metal bismuth, zinc, cadmium melting bismuth, preparation of semiconductor wear-resistant film, HDD large-capacity memory device.
