Chromium carbide (Cr₃C₂) powder is a high-performance ceramic compound known for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability. It is widely used in protective coatings, cutting tools, thermal spray applications, and industrial manufacturing. Due to its superior mechanical and chemical properties, chromium carbide plays a crucial role in aerospace, automotive, and specialized engineering industries.
Product Overview
Chromium carbide (Cr₃C₂) is a refractory compound known for its high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, particularly in high-temperature environments. It has an orthogonal crystal structure with a microhardness of 2280 kg/mm², making it the most durable among the three main chromium carbide components. Chromium carbide powder is commonly mixed with nickel-chromium alloys and applied using high-temperature spraying techniques to form a hard protective coating on metal surfaces. It is widely used in environments where high temperature, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance are critical.
