Machinists already use tools strengthened by a coat of titanium carbide nanoparticles. Just like diamond, the titanium carbide helps the tools, often used to forge things like spacecraft, cut harder.

Next, the team mixed the char with titanium dioxide powder and processed it to make tiny titanium carbide nanoparticles.

The prolific use of complex, monolithic titanium components in aircraft has led to increasingly higher demand for better titanium machining capabilities. Improving cutting tool performance has become ...

First discovered in the 1980s in what is now Kyrgyzstan, titanium carbide occurs in nature as a form of the very rare mineral khamrabaevite or Ti,V,Fe. According to the UCLA engineers, ...
