MSE PRO Tantalum Carbide (TaC) Powder (99%)

Tantalum Carbide (TaC 90/10) Powder, 99%

Tantalum carbide (TaC 90/10) is brown, hard refractory cubic crystalline powder. 

Tantalum carbide is widely used as cermet and hard metal additive. Due to its high melting temperature, hardness, good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, it has been widely used as additive in inorganic ceramic and cutting tools for mechanical reinforcement.
