Properties and Uses of Molybdenum Carbide Mo2C Powder

Overview of Molybdenum Carbide Mo2C Powder

The molecular formula of molybdenum carbide is Mo2C, the molecular weight is 203.88, and the carbon content is 5.89%. It is a dark gray metallic powder that crystallizes into a dense hexagonal lattice. Density 9.18g/cm3, melting point 2690 ℃.

As a new functional material with high melting point and hardness, good thermal and mechanical stability, and good corrosion resistance, it has been widely used in various fields such as high temperature resistance, friction resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance.

It has similar electronic structure and catalytic properties as precious metals, and can be widely used as a catalyst for hydrogen-containing reactions such as alkane isomerization, unsaturated hydrocarbon hydrogenation, hydrodesulfurization, and denitration. High hardness, wear resistance and wear resistance. It is an important component of molybdenum-molybdenum carbide hard coatings and other cermet coatings, and can also be used as wear and scratch resistant coatings.

Metal carbides are generally considered to have interstitial alloy structures. In common interstitial alloys, metal atoms are arranged in the form of face-centered cubic (FCC), hexagonal dense packing (HCP), and simple hexagonal (HEX), and non-metallic atoms enter the space between the metal atoms. The most common types of gaps between metal atoms are octahedrons and triangular prisms. The crystal structure of metal carbides depends on geometric and electronic factors. The geometric factor can be described by Hager's rule of thumb: when the atomic ratio of nonmetal to metal is below 0.59, simple crystal structures are formed. Interestingly, although metal carbides have simple crystal structures, few of these compounds have the same crystal structure as their parent metals. For example, molybdenum metal has a body-centered cubic structure, while its stable carbides have a hexagonal close-packed structure, and oxycarbides have a face-centered cubic structure. Another factor that determines the crystal structure of interstitial alloys is the electronic factor. The bonding in these compounds results from the cooperation between the sP orbitals of nonmetals and the SPD orbitals of metal atoms.

Application of Molybdenum Carbide Mo2C Powder

1. Nano molybdenum carbide is used as coating material and also as additive material. Also, it is commonly used in particle reinforced alloys.

2. Molybdenum carbide has similar electronic structure and catalytic properties as precious metals, and has catalytic activity for hydrogen denitration, hydrolysis and isomerization reactions.

Molybdenum carbide is in many respects in phase with the platinum group noble metals. In particular, its hydrogenation activity is comparable to that of precious metals such as Pt and Pd, and it is expected to become a substitute for precious metals.

4. It can manufacture chromium-free special alloys and engineering ceramics. Used as hard tool material, wear-resistant material, heating material, high temperature structural material.

5. It is used to make wear-resistant films and semiconductor films. It can also be used as a raw material for the production of molybdenum carbide. It can be used to manufacture special alloys and engineering ceramics that do not contain chromium.
