Molybdenum Carbide Powder

Ultrafine molybdenum carbide powder is prepared through a special process method. It is a close-packed hexagonal lattice, also face-centered cubic lattice. the molybdenum carbide does not react with anaerobic acid , soluble in nitric acid and aqua regia obtaining carbon. Density: 9.18g/cm3; Melting point: 2690±500^oC. It has a higher melting point and high hardness, good thermal stability and mechanical stability, excellent corrosion resistance. Applications: ultrafine molybdenum carbide powder can be used as a coating material, can also be used as the added material, widely used in various high temperature, abrasion and chemical resistant etc.um Carbide Mo2C Powder

Molybdenum Carbide-Mo2C

Molybdenum carbide (Mo₂C) can occur in many crystalline forms, the most common of which is α-Mo₂C and β-Mo₂C.

Mo2C Powder

 It is the latter phase which is stable at low temperatures and occurs in steels. β-Mo₂C has a close-packed hexagonal crystal structure with the carbon atoms located in one half of the available octahedral interstices. The lattice parameters assumed for the diagrams below are a=0.3007 nm and c=0.4729 nm.
