CM6197 Titanium Silicon Carbide Ti3SiC2 CAS No. 12202-82-3

Titanium Silicon Carbide Description

Titanium Silicon Carbide Ti3SiC2 is a ceramic material that exhibits high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, and high strength, as well as the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, machinability, and plasticity of metallic materials. More importantly, it has a lower friction coefficient and good self-lubricating properties compared to traditional solid lubricants such as graphite and molybdenum disulphide. With excellent thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties, Ti₃SiC₂ is suitable for extreme environments where conventional materials do not perform adequately.
