Vanadium carbide is dark gray powder, which contains C 19.08% normally. It is belong to NaCl cubic crystal systems. VC is stable at room temperature and pressure. It dissolve in nitric acid and molten potassium nitrate, however not dissolve in cold water, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. Vanadium pentoxide, vanadium tetrachloride, vanadium metal powder or vanadium hydride all can be the raw material.

VC is a hard, refractory ceramic material with excellent wear resistance, high hardness, and thermal stability, making it highly valued in industries requiring materials that can withstand extreme conditions. Known for its durability and strength, VC is extensively used in applications such as cutting tools, protective coatings, and wear-resistant components, especially where performance, longevity, and precision are paramount.

Applications

Vanadium carbide powder acts as grain refiner in hard alloys, cutting tools and steel-making, which can improve alloys propertyobviously. It is also raw material for preparing wear-resistance thin film and semiconductor film. It is raw material for fine ceramics too.

In cutting tools, VC plays a crucial role in enhancing hardness and resistance to wear, extending tool life and improving efficiency in demanding machining processes. It is often added to high-speed steel and cemented carbide alloys, enabling tools to perform effectively under high tempeatures and heavy loads. This durability is essential in manufacturing and metalworking, where VC-coated tools help maintain cutting accuracy and reduce downtime associated with tool replacement.

VC is also widely used in the production of hard coatings. Due to its high melting point, extreme hardness, and resistance to oxidation, VC is an excellent choice for protective coatings on components exposed to harsh conditions, such as in aerospace, automotive, and industrial machinery. These VC-based coatings improve component longevity by protecting surfaces from abrasion, corrosion, and high temperatures, ultimately enhancing the reliability and performance of critical parts.

Additionally, in the field of wear-resistant components, VC provides a highly durable option for parts subject to repeated mechanical stress, including bearings, valuves, and other high-wear items. VC’s ability to resist wear and minimize friction loss makes it essential for applications where stability and efficiency are required over prolonged use, contributing to reduced maintenance and improved operational efficiency.
