What are the uses of zirconium carbide?

What is Zirconium carbide powder?
Zirconium carbide is a kind of high hardness and high melting point material and excellent high temperature refractory. Used as a raw material for solid propellant in a rocket engine. Used for producing alloy steel. It is also a raw material for producing zirconium metal and zirconium tetrachloride and a promising fine ceramic material.
The powder has high purity, small particle size, uniform distribution, large specific surface area, high surface activity, low bulk density, high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, high strength, high hardness, and good thermal conductivity.
CAS12070-14-3
EINECS235-125-1
Molecular formula: ZrC
Molecular weight: 103.2347
Density: 6.73
Characteristic of Zirconium carbide powder
It has a High melting point and high hardness. Poor chemical stability. Does not react with water. Soluble in acid. It is obtained by heating zirconia and coke in an electric furnace. Used as an incandescent filament in the past. Now it is mainly used as an abrasive. It can also be used as the raw material of cemented carbide.
It belongs to a dark gray cubic crystal with a metallic luster. Sexually brittle. The melting point is 3540. The boiling point is 5100. The apparent density is 6.70 g/cm3. Mohs hardness is 8 ~ 9. Insoluble in cold water and hydrochloric acid. Soluble in hydrofluoric acid and hot concentrated sulfuric acid containing nitric acid or hydrogen peroxide. Reacts with chlorine gas at high temperatures to generate zirconium tetrachloride. At 700, zirconia is produced by combustion in the air. Does not react with water.
Uses of Zirconium carbide powder
1. Zirconium carbide is applied to fiber: different contents and adding methods of zirconium carbide and silicon carbide micro powder have an influence on the near-infrared absorption performance of the fiber. When the content of zirconium carbide or silicon carbide in fiber reaches 4% (by weight), the near-infrared absorption performance of fiber is good, and the near-infrared absorption effect of adding zirconium carbide and silicon carbide in the shell layer of fiber is better than that of adding it in the core layer;
2. Zirconium carbide is applied to new thermal insulation and temperature-regulating textiles: Zirconium carbide has the characteristics of efficiently absorbing visible light and reflecting infrared rays. When it absorbs short-wavelength energy below 2μm, which accounts for 95% of sunlight, it can store energy in materials through thermal conversion, and it also has the characteristics of reflecting infrared rays over 2 μ m. Zirconium carbide has ideal characteristics of heat absorption and heat storage, and its products can be used in new thermal insulation and temperature regulation textiles.
3. Zirconium carbide is used in cemented carbide, powder metallurgy, abrasives, etc. Zirconium carbide is an important high-temperature structural material with a high melting point, high strength, and corrosion resistance. Its excellent characteristics make it have great application space in cemented carbide. Can improve the strength, corrosion resistance, and the like of cemented carbide;
4. Zirconium carbide can be used in coatings as high-temperature resistant coatings to improve the surface properties of materials;
5. Modifier of carbon-carbon composite functional materials-Zirconium carbide (zrc): It can greatly improve the strength of carbon fiber when used to modify carbon fiber. Improve the fatigue resistance of carbon fiber, and enhance the wear resistance and high-temperature resistance. The effect is very obvious in the application of aerospace carbon fiber material modification. ZrC zirconium carbide powder material, with a chemical formula of ZrC, is a new type of material designed and produced by a special process.
Price of Zirconium carbide powder
Zirconium carbide powder particle size and purity will affect the product's price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of Zirconium carbide powder. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The price of Zirconium carbide powder can be found on our company's official website.
