Tantalum Carbide(TaC) Nanopowder Features
Tantalum carbide is one of the hardest materials, with a Mohs hardness of around 9-10. This makes it extremely resistant to wear and tear, suitable for applications that require high durability and abrasion resistance. With a melting point of about 3880°C (7020°F), TaC nanopowder can withstand extremely high temperatures, making it an excellent choice for high-temperature applications, such as in cutting tools and jet engine parts. It exhibits exceptional chemical stability and is resistant to attack by acids and alkalis, making it suitable for use in aggressive environments where corrosion resistance is crucial.Despite being a ceramic, tantalum carbide has good electrical conductivity, which makes it useful in electronic applications, such as thin-film resistors and capacitors.It also has high thermal conductivity, which, combined with its high melting point, makes it an excellent choice for heat-resistant barriers and coatings in aerospace and other high-temperature applications.
