Chromium carbide Cr3C2 |
| An extremely hard refractory ceramic material, is highly corrosion-resistant, and does not oxidize even at high temperature (1000-1100°C). Chromium carbide is used as a thermal spray material for protecting the underlying metal surface, and as an additive to corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials. It is used in coatings of bearings, seals, orifices, and valve seals. |
