Ferro-TiC® Steel alloy bonded titanium carbide (TiC) materials are made by advanced powder metallurgy technologies. Unlike tungsten carbide, Ferro-TiC® is bonded by hardenable alloy matrices. For warm metalworking, drawing and forming. Replaces D-2 tool steel. Magnetic. Ferro-TiC® Unique Characteristics- Provides the lightweight, size, stability, and hardness
- Virtually porosity free - significantly better than the A1 ASTM B-276-79 Standard
- Low specific mass. Ferro-Tic® is 10-20% lighter than its steel counterpart and about 50% lighter than tungsten carbide
- 10 times the wear resistance of tool steels
- Economical fabrication (conventionally machinable in the annealed stage by milling and turning, conventionally heat treatable to achieve high hardness)
- 50-90% less linear size change in heat treat than tool steels
