Niobium Carbide Powder

Product Information

Niobium carbide powder is a black powder with a cubic crystal structure. It has a high melting point of 3500℃ and is widely used in refractory high temperature materials.

Niobium carbide powder is a metallic gloss powder with high hardness, harder than corundum. Heeger Materials can provide high quality niobium carbide (NbC) powders at competitive prices.

ATT specializes in the production of high-purity niobium carbide powders with the smallest possible average grain size for the preparation of pressed and bonded sputtering targets, as well as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes, including thermal and electron beam (E-Beam) evaporation, low temperature organic evaporation, atomic layer deposition (ALD), and other processes. Metal-organic and chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Powders are also useful in any application that requires a high surface area, such as water treatment, fuel cells, and solar energy applications. Nanoparticles can also produce very high surface areas. Our standard powder sizes average -325 mesh, -100 mesh, 10-50 micron and submicron (< 1 micron). We can also provide many nanoscale materials.

ATT is a professional niobium carbide powder supplier, and we also produce discs, pellets, ingots, pellets, sheets, powders, rods, wires, sputtering targets and many other forms and custom shapes. Other shapes are available upon request.

Niobium Carbide Powder Specification

Niobium Carbide Powder Properties (Theoretical)

Niobium Carbide (NbC) Powder is a high-hardness material with good chemical stability and high-temperature performance.

• Insoluble in hot and cold hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid

• Soluble in hot hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid mixed solution. 

• Stable at 1000-1100°C 

• Oxidizing rapidly to niobium pentoxide above 1100°C

• Easily fused in compounds such as titanium carbide, zirconium carbide, and tungsten carbide, and together they produce a homogeneous solid solution mixture

Applications of Niobium Carbide Powder

Used as a hard alloy additive

Used in producing wear-resistant films and semiconductor films

Used to prepare carbide tool materials with excellent cutting performance

Processed into purple artificial gemstones

Packing of Niobium Carbide Powder

Standard Packing:

Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes Special package is available on request.

ATTs’Niobium Carbide Powder is carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
