Titanium carbide The light gray crystals are cubical and have a high degree of chemical stability. Titanium carbide reacts little with hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. However, it can be dissolved by aqua regia or nitric, hydrofluoric, and nitric-acid solutions.
Titanium carbide, a gray iron crystal with metallic luster that belongs to the NaCl cubic structure, is a simple cubic structure. The covalent bonding between the titanium and carbon atoms in TiC is equivalent to strong atoms. It has many properties similar to metals. These include high melting and boiling points, as well as hardness. Diamond is the only other material that can rival its hardness.

Titanium carbide has excellent thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. This powder is superconducting even at low temperatures. TiC can be used in a wide range of applications, including the production of heat-resistant metals, cemented carbides, antiwear materials, high temperature radiation materials, and high-temperature vacuum devices. There are many other applications in different fields.

Titanium carbid powder preparation methods:

As raw materials, titanium dioxide and carbon black are used.
The dry powder mixture of high-purity titania dioxide and carbon black is mixed proportionally, then press-formed under a hydrogen-filled atmosphere in either a horizontal carbon-tube furnace or vertical carbon-tube furnace. At 1900-2300degC reduction to get block TiC. Then pulverization for titanium carbide product. Or, sponge titanium and carbon are used as raw materials. The sponge Titanium (or titanium alloy, titanium waste recovered in carbide solid solutions) and the carbon black is fully mixed, then heated to 1500-1700degC using a high-purity hydrogen stream.

Direct carbonization of Titanium Metal:
The carbon is then infiltrated with a high-purity stream of hydrogen. The reaction temperature, holding time and particle size are dependent on the raw material.

Gas phase reaction method:
Steam of titanium tetrachloride mixed with hydrocarbons containing hydrogen (benzene, methane) is used. After induction heating (or other methods), the steam is sent to deposit titanium carbide on the substrate. The reaction precipitates titania carbide on substrate. The precipitation of titanium carbide differs depending on the conditions of the reaction, including the ratio of reaction gas to gas flow, the temperature of the gas and the rate of gas flow.
