Chromium carbide, 99.5% (metals basis), Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Chromium carbide is useful in the surface treatment of metal components. It is used to coat the surface of another metal in a technique known as thermal spraying. It is also used as an additive in cutting tools made out of cemented carbides, in order to improve toughness by preventing the growth of large grains.
