Applications of Chromcarbide Evaporation Materials
Wear resistant coatings: Cr3C2 coatings are applied on cutting tools, drills and wear‐resistant components for machinery and equipment. They provide resistance to abrasion, erosion and adhesive wear in high‐load operating environments.
Thermally sprayed coatings: Cr3C2-based thermal spray coatings are applied to surfaces that are exposed to high temperatures, for example turbine blades, exhaust systems and industrial furnaces. This method provides thermal insulation and protection against oxidation and corrosion.
Ceramic technology: Cr3C2 is used as a reinforcing material in ceramic matrix composites (CMC) within the aerospace, automotive and industrial sectors. Its incorporation improves the performance and durability of ceramic components.
Corrosion protection: Cr3C2 coatings are applied to protect metal surfaces in harsh environments from corrosion, for example in shipping, chemical processing and the oil and gas industry. This application contributes to a longer operational lifespan for the equipment.
Cutting and machining tools: Tools incorporating Cr3C2 are used in metal cutting and machining processes, for example milling, turning and drilling. They have demonstrated hardness, thermal conductivity and wear resistance, thereby enabling efficient material removal and extended tool life.
Abrasive materials: Cr3C2-based grinding powders and grinding wheels are employed for precision grinding and material removal applications, including surface finishing, shaping and polishing of metals, ceramics and composite materials.
Catalysis: Cr3C2 nanoparticles are under investigation for catalytic applications such as hydrogenation, oxidation and nitrogen fixation reactions. These studies aim to advance chemical synthesis and environmental remediation.
