Powders Designed for
High-temperature Applications

At Powderloop, we supply high-quality tatanium carbide powders that deliver consistent particle size, excellent flowability and high purity for demanding production environments.

Titanium Carbide Cermet Powders

Titanium carbide powder is prized for extreme hardness (around 9-9.5 on the Mohs scale), a very high melting point (over 3,100°C), wear resistance, chemical stability, and electrical conductivity. Applied via thermal spray or laser cladding to protect tools, bearings, nozzles and metal parts from abrasion.

Titanium Carbide Nickel Matrix

TiC-NiCrMo

Combines hard, wear-resistant TiC ceramic particles with a tough, corrosion- and heat-resistant NiCr metal matrix. It is typically used for high-temperature wear, erosion, abrasion, and corrosion resistance in coatings, cladding, and cermets.

Typical uses: In high-temperature wear, erosion, abrasion, and corrosion resistance applications: gas turbine engine components, boiler tubes and heat exchangers, and aerospace hydraulic actuators, gas bearings.

Titanium Carbide Iron Matrix

TiC-FeCr

Combines the high hardness and wear resistance of TiC with the strength, toughness, heat/tempering resistance, and corrosion or oxidation resistance of a chromium-bearing iron/steel matrix. It can be conventionally machined in the annealed state and heat-treated to high hardness.

Typical uses: In extreme sliding, abrasive, and adhesive wear environments where standard tool steels wear out too fast: stamping, blanking & piercing dies, forming rolls & guide rollers.

Tifenox Brake

TiC-FeCrMo

Engineered to increase surface wear resistance, reduce corrosion, and lower fine brake dust emissions (e.g. PM10 and PM2.5) while simplifying manufacturing compared to multi-layer systems. It protects grey cast iron rotors from rust and surface degradation.

Hard TiC ceramic reinforcement phase precipitated during high-speed laser cladding or EHLA within the ferrochrome matrix, forming a high-wear resistance, tough protective layer in a single deposition pass. 

Looking for Custom Powder?

While we offer a wide selection of standard hardfacing powders, our true value lies in collaboration. We work closely with customers to develop customised powders that meet specific performance, process and environmental requirements.

Together, we can explore tailored powder microstructures to achieve the optimal balance of wear resistance, toughness and processability for your applications.

Whether you are working on hardfacing, additive manufacturing, or surface engineering projects, we can help unlock the full potential of your processes.

Our Commitment to Powder Quality

All of our powders undergo rigorous quality control, with each step of the process following defined standard operating procedures. From sourcing raw materials to agglomeration, sieving and classification, we ensure consistent, repeatable performance.

Our in-house lab testing includes:

  • Particle size analysis (ASTM B214, ISO 4497)
  • Flowability testing (ASTM B213, ISO 4490)
  • Apparent density measurements (ASTM B212, ISO 3923-1/2)
  • Scanning Electron Microscopy with EDS analysis
  • Chemical composition analysis via subcontracted lab
