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  o C. 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 che...
