CAS: 12012-35-0

Technical Parameters

Product Features

The product has an orthorhombic crystal system with a=2.821, b=5.52, c=11.46, a melting point of 1890°C, a boiling point of 3800°C, and a thermal expansion coefficient of 10.3×10^-6/K.  

Potential Application Areas:

1. Anti-wear films, semiconductor films;

2. In the production of cemented carbides, adding chromium carbide not only refines tungsten carbide grains but also enhances the strength and hardness of the alloy, significantly improving its corrosion resistance. It is widely used in industrial production as a corrosion-resistant alloy structural material (gauges, valves, sealing rings, etc.). In spray welding and overlay welding, it is used for hard-facing solders that require both corrosion resistance and high wear resistance. It is extensively applied in the smelting and production of special steels such as stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, corrosion-resistant steel, and alloy steel.

Packaging and Storage

This product is typically packaged in inert gas anti-static bags, drums, or vacuum bags. For laboratory quantities, inert gas bottle packaging is available. Customers requiring inert gas bottle packaging should contact us. After receipt, the product should be stored sealed in a dry, cool environment. It should not be exposed to air for extended periods to prevent moisture-induced agglomeration, which may affect dispersion performance and usage effectiveness.
