The IUPAC name of this chemical is Titanium carbide. The CAS registry number is 12070-08-5 and the EINECS registry number is 235-120-4. In addition, the molecular formula is CTi and the molecular weight is 59.88. It is a kind of solid and belongs to the classes of Inorganics; Carbides; Ceramics; Metal and Ceramic Science; CarbidesMaterials Science; Nanomaterials; Nanoparticles: Oxides, Nitrides, and Other CeramicsNanomaterials; Nanopowders and Nanoparticle Dispersions. And it is insoluble in water, but soluble in nitric acid.

Preparation of Titanium carbide: it can be prepared by titania and carbon in the presence of hydrogen at reaction temperature of 1500-1700 °C. This reaction is a kind of rduction reaction. The equation is as follows: TiO₂ + 3C → TiC + 2CO. In addition, titanium can react with carbon to give Titanium carbide in the presence of high-purity hydrogen. The equation is as follows: Ti + C → TiC.

Uses of Titanium carbide: it can be used as melting crucible for metal bismuth, zinc and cadmium. In addition, it can be used in preparation of wear-resistant thin-film semiconductor and HDD capacity memory devices. Moreover, it is commercially used in tool bits and mainly used in preparation of cermets, which are frequently used to machine steel materials at high cutting speed.
