Synthesis of titanium carbide nano-powders by thermal plasma
- The paper presents a thermodynamic analysis for predicting conditions of thermal plasma synthesis of TiC. Emphasis was placed on various processing conditions so as to optimize the process parameters for the production of TiC nano-powders.
Hardness: Both titanium and tungsten carbide are considerably harder than precious metals like gold and platinum. However, tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials in existence and substantially harder than titanium, registering a 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness
Titanium carbide is used in preparation of cermets, which are frequently used to machine steel materials at high cutting speed. It is also used as an abrasion-resistant surface coating on metal parts, such as tool bits and watch mechanisms.
However, TiC has suffered from its brittle failure under pressure, limiting its extended engineering applications. Consequently, understanding the deformation and failure process of TiC is of vital importance for the extended engineering applications of transition metal carbides.
