Production Method of Niobium Carbide

1. Raw Material Preparation:
   • Niobium oxide (such as Nb2O5) and carbonaceous materials (such as carbon black or graphite) are the primary raw materials used to produce niobium carbide.
2. Mixing and Pre-treatment:
   • The niobium oxide and carbonaceous materials are mixed in a specific proportion to ensure even distribution.
   • This mixture is then subjected to pre-treatment processes such as drying and grinding to obtain a uniform and delicate powder.
3. Carburization:
   • The mixed powder is placed in a graphite crucible and heated to a high temperature (typically between 1600°C and 1900°C) in an inert gas atmosphere or under vacuum conditions.
   • Niobium carbide is formed through the carburization reaction at elevated temperatures. To conduct a thorough response, multiple heating stages and the addition of more carbonaceous material may be necessary.
4. Post-treatment:
   • Complying with the carburization procedure, the product is cooled off and, after that, goes through extra handling actions, consisting of grinding and sieving, to attain the needed bit dimension and niobium carbide pureness.
5. Quality Control:
   • The final product is subjected to rigorous quality control tests to ensure it meets the specified standards for purity, particle size, and other properties.
