Karbidmaterial
Karbidmaterial, or carbide material, refers to a family of inorganic compounds in which carbon forms bonds with a less electronegative element, producing a hard, wear-resistant phase. The term covers metal carbides such as tungsten carbide (WC), titanium carbide (TiC), and tantalum carbide (TaC), as well as covalent ceramic carbides like silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B4C).
Key properties of carbide materials include exceptional hardness, high melting points, and strong chemical stability. Tungsten
Manufacturing methods vary by subtype. Cemented carbides are produced by powder metallurgy: carbide powders are mixed
Applications of karbidmaterial span cutting tools, wear parts, and mining or drilling components due to hardness
Safety considerations include dust generation during processing, which requires appropriate ventilation and protective equipment.
