How is Niobium Carbide NbC powder produced?

A tanker carrying 650,000 barrels of Venezuelan crude oil is reportedly bound for Europe, the first time Venezuela has exported crude to Europe in the past two years under US sanctions.  It is analyzed that the U.S. is making up for the European energy gap caused by the sanctions against Russia by giving the green light to Venezuelan oil exports. It is reported that Venezuela is rich in oil resources, with the current proven reserves of 300 billion barrels, ranked the world's first, oil export is also one of the country's economic pillars.  

Germany will take emergency measures to ensure it meets its energy needs, including increasing its use of coal, the German government said recently, after a drop in gas supplies from Russia.  

"In order to reduce gas consumption, it is necessary to reduce the use of gas for electricity generation," the Economy Ministry said in a statement. We're going to have to switch to more coal-fired power plants."  

The measures announced that day also include an "auction" system to sell natural gas to manufacturers, according to reports. The German government says the system will help reduce gas consumption in manufacturing industries.  

The measures come as Russian energy giant Gazprom recently warned that it would sharply cut gas supplies to Europe, the report said.

The supply and prices of international bulk Niobium Carbide, NBC Powder Overview, Niobium Carbide Application, NBC Powder Price, Niobium Carbide Supplier are still very uncertain.

Overview of Niobium Carbide NBC Powder

Niobium carbide (NBC and Nb2C) is a very hard refractory ceramic material used commercially for cutting tool tips. It is usually processed by sintering and is a commonly used additive in cemented carbide as a grain growth inhibitor. The appearance is brown-gray metal powder with purple luster and strong corrosion resistance.

How is Niobium Carbide NbC powder produced?

Niobium pentoxide reduction method:

Niobium carbide can be obtained by heating niobium oxide in a vacuum at 1800°C and adding coke.

In industry, niobium carbide is usually prepared from niobium pentoxide and carbon black as raw materials: niobium pentoxide and carbon black are firstly mixed with carbide raw materials in proportion, and put into a graphite crucible. Heating hydrogen or vacuum to 1600～1800℃, carbonization for the first time, then adding carbon black, mixing it, heating to 1800～1900℃ under hydrogen or vacuum, secondary carbonization, this is niobium carbide.

Application of Niobium Carbide NBC Powder

Niobium carbide NBC powder can partially replace tantalum carbide and is widely used in refractory high temperature materials and cemented carbide additives

As a cemented carbide additive, niobium carbide is a solid solution component of ternary and quaternary carbides, such as WC-NBC-C ternary system.

Niobium carbide NBC powder can also be used to make purple artificial gemstones.

Recently, the Turkish government announced that the Turkish President has signed a presidential decree to provide incentives for its Black Sea gas field development projects, including tax exemptions and other preferential measures.  

With a fixed investment of 145.1 billion Turkish lira ($10 billion), the project will employ 1,018 people and produce 14 billion standard cubic meters of gas per year, the decree reads. The incentives involved include tariff and VAT exemptions, as well as a range of tax cuts.

In June 2021, Turkish drill ships discovered 135 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the Sakaria field in the Black Sea, bringing Turkey's total gas discoveries in the region to 540 billion cubic meters.  

Turkey imports almost all of its annual gas consumption of about 50 billion cubic meters.  

Except for natural gas, the supply and prices of many other Niobium Carbide, NBC Powder Overview, Niobium Carbide Application, NBC Powder Price, Niobium Carbide Supplier will continue to be influenced by international situations.
