Description
Titanium Carbide (TiC) Micron Powder, Purity: 99.9+%, Size: -325 mesh
Titanium Carbide (TiC) Micron Powder is a highly refractory ceramic material known for its exceptional hardness, high melting point, and excellent chemical stability. With a purity of 99.9+% and a particle size of -325 mesh, this black/gray powder is widely used in industrial applications that demand high wear resistance, thermal strength, and electrical conductivity.
TiC is ideal for use in cutting tools, cermets, hard coatings, and wear-resistant components. Its strong covalent bonding and cubic crystal structure contribute to its high hardness and thermal stability, making it a preferred choice for materials engineering, surface protection, and high-performance composites.
