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.

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...

Carbon Nanotubes Specifications and Properties Carbon Nanotubes, simply CNTs, are allotropes of carbon with a round and hollow nanostructure. These barrel shaped carbon molecules have crucial properties, which are significant for nanotechnology, hardware, optics and other different fields of materials science and innovation. The carbon nanotube’s excellent quality as a strong and firm material laid the basis on many applications. Not to mention carbon nanotubes exceptional heat conductivity, electrical and mechanical properties, Carbon Nanotubes are used as additives to diverse auxiliary materials. In terms of rigidity and flexibility Carbon Nanotubes are the stiffest and strongest materials. These quality outcomes from the covalent sp2 bonds framed between the individual carbon molecules. Unlike Graphene , Carbon Nanotubes are either conductive or semiconducting along the tubular hub. Carbon Nanotubes also have absorption, fluorescence properties. Bulk Carbon nanotubes are util...
