Description
Tantalum Carbide (TaC) Nanopowder / Nanoparticles (99.5+%, 950 nm, Cubic)
Tantalum Carbide (TaC) nanoparticles are ultra-refractory ceramic materials with excellent hardness, thermal resistance, and chemical stability. Produced in a cubic crystal structure with 99.5+% purity and an average particle size of 950 nm, TaC nanopowder is an advanced material widely applied in cutting tools, refractory ceramics, and high-performance composites.
With a true density of 14.2 g/cm³, a bulk density of 2.50 g/cm³, and a specific surface area of 20 m²/g, TaC demonstrates exceptional durability under extreme conditions. Its Mohs hardness (9–10) and extreme melting point (~3880 °C) make it one of the most sought-after carbides for aerospace, metallurgy, and tool manufacturing.
