Zirconium Carbide Powder Description
Zirconium carbide (ZrC) is a gray metallic powder with a cubic crystal structure. Known for its exceptional wear resistance, high melting point, outstanding corrosion resistance, and excellent high-temperature stability, ZrC powder is commonly used in thermal surfacing techniques, including powder welding, oxyacetylene spraying, HVOF/HAFA spraying, plasma transferred arc (PTA) overlaying, plasma spraying, laser overlaying, and induction melting overlaying.
Zirconium carbide powder has diverse applications across industries such as oil exploration, aerospace, mining, machinery manufacturing, and marine engineering. Its high hardness makes it a valuable material in the cutting tool and steel industries. Additionally, ZrC is often used as an additive to refine WC-cemented carbide crystals, enhancing the performance of alloys. With good oxidation resistance and thermal conductivity, ZrC is versatile for demanding industrial applications.
