Is titanium carbide hard

What is titanium carbide?

Titanium carbide is an iron-gray crystal with a metal luster coming from NaCl-type basic cubic framework, with a lattice constant of 0.4329 nm and also a space group of Fm3m. Carbon atoms are equivalent to titanium atoms in the latticework position, and also solid covalent bonds bond TiC atoms. Tic has some attributes similar to metals, such as high melting point, boiling factor, as well as solidity, the hardness is second only to diamond, and also it has excellent thermal and electric conductivity, even showing superconductivity at superficial temperatures.

Nano-titanium carbide is made use of in aerospace parts. It has a melting point above 3000 ℃, excellent high-temperature stamina, compatibility with tungsten, comparable thermal development coefficient, and a lot reduced density than tungsten.

Titanium carbide is extensively utilized in producing wear-resistant materials, reducing tools, mold and mildews, thawing metal crucibles, and also several various other fields. Transparent titanium carbide ceramics are likewise suitable optical materials. And titanium carbide abrasive in the rough as well as abrasive market is an excellent material to change conventional rough materials such as alumina, silicon carbide, boron carbide, as well as chromium oxide. The grinding ability of nano titanium carbide is similar to that of artificial rubies, which significantly reduces the price. It has actually been extensively utilized in the United States, Japan, Russia, as well as various other nations. Products such as abrasive, grinding wheels, and grinding paste made from nano titanium carbide can dramatically improve grinding efficiency, accuracy, and surface smoothness.

Nano-titanium carbide foam ceramic: As a filter, foam ceramic can effectively eliminate inclusions in various fluids, and also its filtering device is anxiety as well as adsorption. The chemical stability of filter products is required, especially the filters used in the metallurgical market need a high melting factor, so the majority of these materials are oxides as well as to adapt to the filtering of molten metal, the enhancement of thermal shock resistance is primarily pursued. Nano-titanium carbide foam porcelains have greater strength, hardness, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, warmth resistance, and also rust resistance than oxide foam porcelains.

TiC is light grey, cubic, insoluble in water, and has high chemical stability. It hardly responds with hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, yet it can be liquified in aqua regia, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and alkaline oxide solution.

Taking titanium dioxide and also carbon black as raw products, high-purity titanium dioxide as well as carbon black are extensively blended in percentage, the dry powder mix is pushed and also shaped, as well as then lowered in a horizontal carbon tube furnace or a vertical carbon tube heating system at 1900-2300 ℃ in a hydrogen environment to acquire large TiC, and afterwards pulverized to get titanium carbide powder items. Or taking sponge titanium and carbon black as resources, completely blending sponge titanium (or titanium scrap recouped from titanium alloy and carbide strong service) as well as carbon black in percentage, as well as home heating to 1500-1700 ℃ in high-purity hydrogen gas stream for response to get titanium carbide.
