Tantalum Carbide Powder Applications
1. Tantalum carbide is often added to tungsten carbide/cobalt (WC/Co) powder attritions to enhance the sintered structure's physical properties. It also acts as a grain growth inhibitor preventing the formation of large grains, thus producing material of optimal hardness.
2. It is also used as a coating for steel molds in the injection molding of aluminum alloys. While providing a hard, wear-resistant surface, it also provides a low friction surface.
3. Tantalum carbide is also used to produce sharp instruments with extreme mechanical resistance and hardness.
4. It is also used in tool bits for cutting tools.
