CrC
metal· JVASP-14794· CrC
Chromium carbide (CrC) is a ceramic compound that combines chromium with carbon, forming an exceptionally hard intermetallic phase used primarily in wear-resistant and high-temperature applications. It is widely employed in thermal spray coatings (HVOF and plasma spray), cutting tools, and mining equipment, where its hardness and chemical resistance provide extended service life in abrasive or corrosive environments. Engineers select CrC-based coatings when conventional hardened steels or cemented carbides cannot tolerate the severity of sliding wear, erosion, or thermal cycling; it is particularly valued in industries where coating thickness and bond strength can be engineered for specific duty cycles.

Export Control
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
