What is Titanium carbide?
Titanium carbide is light gray, has a cubic crystal system, is insoluble in water, has high chemical stability, and has hydrochloric acid. Sulfuric acid has almost no chemical reaction but can be dissolved in royal water, nitric acid, and hydrofluoric acid and dissolved in alkaline oxide. Titanium carbide is an iron gray crystal with a metallic luster, which belongs to the NaCl-type simple cubic structure with a lattice constant of 0.4329 nm and a space group of Fm 3 m. Carbon atoms are equivalent to titanium atoms at the lattice position. Titanium carbide atoms, with a strong covalent bond binding, have characteristics similar to metals, such as high melting point, boiling point, and hardness. Hardness is second only to diamond, has good thermal and electrical conductivity, and even shows superconductivity when the temperature is very low.
Main uses of Titanium carbide
Titanium carbide is widely used in manufacturing metal ceramics, heat-resistant alloys, carbide, anti-wear materials, high-temperature radiation materials, and other high-temperature vacuum devices. The complex phase materials they prepared are widely used in machining, metallurgical minerals, aerospace and fusion reactor, and other fields. It can be used as an additive of cutting tool material and metal bismuth, zinc, cadmium molten crucible, prepare semiconductor wear-resistant film and HDD large capacity memory device; it is also an important component of hard alloy, used as a deoxidant in the steelmaking industry; can be used as metal ceramics, with high hardness, corrosion resistance, and good thermal stability.
The synthesis method of titanium carbide
The mixture of titanium powder and carbon obtained by hydrogen reducing TiO2 is acted at high temperature or compressed by TiO2 and carbon powder and then heated to 2300-2700℃ in an electric furnace and carbonized in H2 or CO atmosphere; Ti powder and carbon powder can form TiC. However, due to the difficulty in preparing submicron-scale 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. The reactant agglomeration is serious, and further grinding processing is needed to prepare fine particle TiC powder. The nano TiO2 and carbon black can heat the material to obtain the pure product. The dielectric loss of the material in the high-frequency electric field is used to transform the microwave energy into thermal energy, making the nano TiO2 and carbon synthesis TiC.
Price of Titanium carbide
The different price of Titanium carbide purity is also different. The market price of Titanium carbide is in the process of dynamic change. The price of Titanium carbide can be found on our company's official website. If you need it, you can ask us at any time.
