Tungsten Carbide (TiC) Nanoparticles, nanodots or nanopowder are black spherical high surface area particles. Nanoscale Tungsten Carbide Particles are typically 10 - 100 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 100 – 130 m 2 /g range. Nano Tungsten Carbide Particles are also available in passivated and ultra high purity and high purity and coated and dispersed forms. Research into applications for Tungsten Carbide nanocrystals includes use in hard thin films and coatings, and to improve hardness in alloys, ceramics and for use in automotive, aerospace and industrial sectors, and in other coatings, plastics, and surface treatments.
