Metal Carbides (WC, TiC)
|
Carbides are compounds of a metal or metalloid (B, Si) and carbon. Metal carbides are also known as hard metals such as tungsten carbide (WC), titanium carbide (TiC) or tantalum carbide (TaC). Metal carbides have high hardness and high hot hardness, which makes them useful for cutting tools, forming, dies and tools, and other wear applications. Metal carbides often used a cobalt, nickel, or intermetallic metal bond between grains (cemented carbides), which results in increases toughness compared a pure carbide or ceramic.
