Titanium carbide, TiC, is an extremely hard (Mohs 9–9.5) refractory ceramic material, similar to tungsten carbide. It has the appearance of black powder with the sodium chloride (face-centered cubic) crystal structure. As found in nature its crystals range in size from 0.1 to 0.3mm.

Detailed description

Titanium carbide is used in preparation of cermets, which are frequently used to machine steel materials at high cutting speed. It is also used as an abrasion-resistant surface coating on metal parts, such as tool bits and watch mechanisms.^{[citation needed]} Titanium carbide is also used as a heat shield coating for atmospheric reentry of spacecraft.^[1]

It occurs in nature as a form of the very rare mineral khamrabaevite - (Ti,V,Fe)C. It was discovered in 1984 on Mount Arashan in the Chatkal District,^[2] USSR (modern Kyrgyzstan), near the Uzbek border. The mineral was named after Ibragim Khamrabaevich Khamrabaeva, director of Geology and Geophysics of Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
