Description

Titanium Carbonitride is an advanced ceramic material renowned for its exceptional hardness, thermal stability, and wear resistance. This compound is critical for enhancing the performance and longevity of cutting tools, wear parts, and protective coatings in demanding industrial environments. It is a key material for manufacturers in the metalworking, tooling, and surface engineering sectors seeking to improve productivity and reduce operational costs.

Application

• Hard Coatings & Surface Engineering: As a primary component in Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) coatings for cutting tools (drills, end mills, inserts), molds, and wear-resistant components.
• Cermet & Composite Materials: Used as a reinforcing phase in titanium carbonitride-based cermets and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) for superior fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance.
• Abrasive & Polishing Applications: Incorporated into slurries and fixed abrasives for precision polishing of hard materials like silicon wafers, optical glass, and advanced ceramics.
• Decorative Coatings: Employed to produce durable, aesthetically pleasing gold-like or bronze-colored coatings on watches, jewelry, and consumer hardware.
• Diffusion Barriers: Applied in microelectronics as a thin-film barrier layer to prevent interdiffusion between silicon substrates and conductive metal layers.
• Aerospace & Automotive Components: Used in coatings for high-temperature engine parts, turbine blades, and other components requiring extreme wear and corrosion resistance.

Quality Control

Our Titanium Carbonitride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase purity, laser particle size analysis (PSA), and elemental analysis for precise carbon and nitrogen content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing chemical composition, particle size distribution, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
