Chromium Carbide Nanoparticles/Nanopowder

Chromium Carbide and It's Properties                                           Chromium carbide which has the chemical formula of Cr 3 C 2 , exists as a gray solid. This compound is extremely hard and corrosion resistant. It is also a refractory compound, which means that it retains its strength at high temperatures as well. These properties make it useful as an  additive  to metal alloys. When chromium carbide crystals are integrated into the surface of a metal it improves the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the metal, and maintains these properties at elevated temperatures.                                                                                ...
