· TiC

Titanium carbide (TiC) is a ceramic compound combining titanium and carbon, belonging to the refractory carbide family known for extreme hardness and high-temperature stability. It is widely used in cutting tools, wear-resistant coatings, and abrasive applications where conventional materials fail; engineers select TiC when thermal resistance, hardness, and mechanical toughness at elevated temperatures are critical. The material also appears in armor applications and as a reinforcement phase in composite systems, offering superior performance compared to tungsten carbide in demanding thermal environments.

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.
