Description
Titanium Hydride (TiH₂) Micron Powder, Purity: 99.5%, Size: -325 mesh
Titanium Hydride (TiH₂) Micron Powder is a gray-black fine powder with a purity of 99.5% and particle size of -325 mesh. This material is known for its high hydrogen content, low density, and reactivity at elevated temperatures. TiH₂ is widely used in the production of metal foams, powder metallurgy, pyrotechnics, and as a hydrogen source in specialized chemical reactions.
The powder decomposes easily under heat, releasing hydrogen gas and forming metallic titanium, which makes it valuable in hydrogenation processes or as a foaming agent in lightweight structural materials. Titanium hydride is also employed in ceramic-metal composites and as an additive in propellants or energetic materials.
