Tantalum Carbide, a robust and brown refractory ceramic material, exhibits hardness and high thermal and electrical conductivity in its powder form (TaC). Employing sintering processes, it enhances oxidation resistance, hot-hardness, and temperature strength in steel processing. Our tantalum carbide powder is available in minimal grain sizes and finds frequent use in deposition, evaporation processes, and applications requiring high surface areas.
In vital sectors like the automobile and aerospace industries, Tantalum Carbides (TaC) play a crucial role in enhancing the performance of hard metal cutting tools. Tantalum niobium carbides contribute significantly to improvements in oxidation resistance, hot-hardness, high-temperature strength, and resistance to crater wear during steel processing. Their thermal conductivity also aids in resisting thermal cracking caused by effects like thermal shock during milling processes.
