Tib 2 is also a reasonable electrical conductor 1 so it can be used as a cathode material in aluminium smelting and can be shaped by electrical discharge machining.
Titanium nitride ceramics.
These uses are limited to thin films of titanium nitride of thickness less than 10 μm.
Sometimes known as tinite is an extremely hard ceramic material often used as a coating on titanium alloys steel carbide and aluminium components to improve the substrate s surface properties.
The coating has high hardness and low friction combined with moderate resistance to oxidisation.
Applied as a thin coating tin is used to harden and protect cutting and sliding surfaces for decorative purposes due to its golden appearance and as a non toxic exterior.
Titanium nitride tin titanium carbide tic chromium nitride crn diamond like carbon dlc tungsten carbide carbon wc c and alumina al 2 o 3 are some of the important ceramic materials used in coating applications.
Titanium diboride tib 2 is an extremely hard ceramic which has excellent heat conductivity oxidation stability and wear resistance.
