Titanium Carbide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Titanium Carbide (TiC) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.250'' , Purity: 99.5%), which has the chemical formula of TiC, is an extremely hard refractory ceramic material. It has the appearance of black powder. Titanium carbide is used in preparation of cermets, which are frequently used to machine steel materials at high cutting speed. It is also used as an abrasion-resistant surface coating on metal parts, such as tool bits and watch mechanisms and as a heat shield coating for atmospheric reentry of spacecraft.
Titanium carbide thin films have been classically used as protective hard coatings due to the good mechanical properties like high hardness, corrosion resistance, and low wear properties, that sustained up to 400 oC. Recently, this material has increased its technological interest because of its use as composite coatings TiC–C. For the deposition of titanium carbide, several processes are used: chemical vapour deposition (CVD), plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition and physical vapour deposition (PVD).
Sputtering deposition is a PVD process that is increasingly used in industrial hard coating deposition because it is a low temperature process and it uses unpolluting products.
And also in the field of wear prevention, the use of hard coatings is often desirable. One of the most attractive methods of applying these coatings is by radiofrequency (rf) sputtering. Many hard coatings applied by rf sputtering have been examined for wear resistance. These studies have shown that coatings of refractory compounds, such as titanium carbide, can provide good wear protection and, in many cases, low friction.

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

New Way of Deaf-Mute Communication with 3D Graphene

Image retrieved from: http://blogs.rsc.org/cc/2016/09/01/3d-graphene-adds-dimension-to-deaf%E2%80%93mute-communication/ Chinese scientists have developed wearable electronic device with conductive 3D graphene structure to translate sign language into written text. This technology can be applied by injecting graphene ink from a syringe under printed electronic field. For medical field, such as adhesive patches which determine heart, brain signal and neural activity, wearable and bio-integrated medical devices are very important. Due to noticeable properties of cast graphene, for example a 2D honeycomb lattice, excellent mechanical and electrical behaviors, Graphene has an important material in warble technology. However, it is difficult to preserve advantages of Graphene material in a 3D material which has an information about forces from every angle.

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%)  has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before,  Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder  is the main inorganic constituent of bon...
