Advanced ceramic powders
Carbide Powders
Carbide powders for hard ceramics, wear applications and materials research. Chemistry, phase and carbon balance define the starting point.
Choose a material
Silicon and boron carbides
SiC and B4C are different ceramic systems. Compare the required phase, particle distribution and impurity limits for the forming and firing process.
B4C
Tungsten carbide systems
Separate WC from tungsten-titanium carbide. Binder-containing WC-Co powders have their own thermal-spray and cermet directory.
WC
Tungsten-titanium carbide powder
tungsten-titanium mixed carbide powder ((W,Ti)C; ratio is grade-specific)
(W,Ti)C
Other metal carbides
Use the full carbide formula and phase requirement. Total carbon, free carbon and oxygen should have a stated analytical basis where they are acceptance criteria.

Material selection guide
Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet.
Carbide identity
Specify the metal/non-metal carbide and target phase. A carbide powder and a carbide-metal composite are different requirements.
Carbon & impurities
State total/free carbon or other critical analytical limits where relevant. Include oxygen and metallic contamination requirements.
Powder & process
Describe morphology, particle distribution and the intended sintering, coating, abrasive or research route.
Before you choose
Is tungsten carbide powder the same as WC-Co spray feedstock?
No. WC-Co includes a metallic binder and a feedstock architecture. A chemical formula alone does not specify a composite thermal-spray powder.
What does this directory cover?
WC-Co and other cermet composites are listed in thermal-spray/cermet powders. Diamond and CBN abrasive grades have a separate directory.
What to include in your request
A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.
- Carbide formula and target phase
- Carbon balance and impurity requirements
- Particle distribution and morphology
- Processing route and acceptance documents
Quantity, samples and documents
Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums.
We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
