Nano-Chromium Carbide Powder Description
Nano-Chromium Carbide Powder is a powder composed of extremely small chromium carbide particles. Chromium carbide is a ceramic compound composed of chromium and carbon atoms. It exhibits a high melting point and boiling point. It also shows high hardness and wear resistance.
Nano-Chromium Carbide Powder exhibits distinct properties compared with larger particles or bulk materials. Its small particle size and large surface-to-volume ratio enhance its mechanical, electrical and thermal characteristics. Consequently, it is used in coatings, cutting tools and wear-resistant materials.
