Description

Titanium Hydride is an important inorganic compound widely utilized as a precursor material and hydrogen source in advanced manufacturing. Its ability to decompose and release hydrogen at elevated temperatures makes it a critical component in powder metallurgy and materials synthesis. This product is essential for industries focused on producing high-performance alloys, ceramics, and specialized coatings where controlled porosity and purity are paramount.

Application

• Powder Metallurgy & Sintering: Acts as a foaming agent and alloying precursor in the production of titanium and other metal matrix composites, creating lightweight, porous structures.
• Ceramic & Cermet Production: Serves as a source of titanium for the synthesis of titanium carbide (TiC), titanium nitride (TiN), and other advanced ceramics.
• Welding & Brazing: Used in specialized welding rods and brazing pastes for joining refractory metals and ceramics.
• Hydrogen Storage & Generation: Investigated for solid-state hydrogen storage applications and as a controllable source of hydrogen gas in chemical processes.
• Pyrotechnics & Incendiaries: Employed in specialized pyrotechnic compositions due to its high heat of combustion.
• Gettering & Vacuum Technology: Functions as a getter material to scavenge residual oxygen and nitrogen in high-vacuum systems and electronic components.

Quality Control

Our Titanium Hydride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase identification, inert gas fusion for hydrogen content, and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) for metallic impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results is provided with every shipment, ensuring compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store this material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term preservation of quality. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
