Aluminum Carbide Al4C3 Pulp:

Aluminum carbide is an organic compound. The aluminum carbide formula is Al4C3. Hygroscopic. Yellow-gray, green-gray crystal blocks, or powder. It is a high-temperature decomposer and can be broken down into aluminum hydroxide and methane in cold water. Al4C3 crystals have a hexagonal structure.

Aluminum carbide Al4C3 stands for aluminum carbide. The color is light yellow or brown and can be found in crystals. At temperatures above 1400 degrees Celsius, it is very stable. It is decomposed in water and produces methane.

Aluminum carbide This crystal structure is unusual and consists of Al2C2 and Al2C2 layers. The tetrahedral structure is formed when each aluminum atom has been coordinated with four carbon atoms. Two binding environments exist for carbon atoms. There is one, a deformed Octahedron with 6 Al Atoms at 217pm. Another is a bipyramid triangular structure with four Al atoms at 194-194 PM and a fifth Al at 221 AM.

In industrial calcium carbide, there is an impurity of aluminum carbide. As a result of the corrosion of graphite, aluminum carbide forms in electrolytic aluminum manufacturing.

Composites of metal matrix based on aluminum reinforced with non-metal carbides (silicon carbide and boron carbide, for example) are called metal matrix composites. Aluminum carbide is often formed when carbon fibers are made. It reacts with the aluminum matrix at 500°C. For carbon fiber, you can coat the fiber with calcium carbonate to improve the fiber's wettability or chemical reaction inhibition.

Aluminum carbide Most quantities are usually immediately available. Carbides refer to compounds that have one or more carbon atoms as an anion. Most metals, including indium, gallium, and others, can make carbides. Similar to diamonds, carbides are fire-resistant, heat resistant, and can withstand abrasion, corrosion, and heat. These characteristics make them great candidates for coating drill bits and other instruments. These carbides often combine toughness with other desirable properties, such as low thermal expansion, electrical conductivity, and wear resistance.

Production Method of Aluminum Carbide Powder Al4C3：

Chloride reaction method:

Chloride reaction is a common method for producing aluminum carbide. The method is to react aluminum and chlorine gas at high temperatures to produce aluminum chloride and aluminum carbide. The advantage of the chloride reaction method is low reaction temperature and high yield, but the disadvantage is that aluminum chloride is corrosive and will cause damage to the equipment. In order to reduce corrosion, a mixture of chlorine gas and aluminum can be used for reaction. Still, this method requires the use of high-purity aluminum and chlorine gas and has higher requirements for raw materials.

In the chloride reaction method, aluminum and chlorine gas are mixed and reacted at high temperatures. At the end of the reaction, a mixture of aluminum carbide and aluminum chloride is obtained. In order to obtain high-purity aluminum carbide, it is necessary to carry out follow-up treatment, such as dissolution, separation, etc.

Carbothermal reduction method:

Carbothermal reduction is another method of producing aluminum carbide. The method is to react alumina (Al2O3) with carbon at high temperatures to produce aluminum carbide and carbon dioxide. The advantages of carbothermal reduction are low reaction temperature and no harmful substances, but the disadvantages are long reaction time and low yield.

In carbothermal reduction, a mixture of alumina and carbon is fed into a high-temperature furnace for reaction. At the end of the reaction, a mixture of aluminum carbide and carbon dioxide is obtained. In order to obtain high-purity aluminum carbide, subsequent processing, such as refining and separation, is required.

Application of Aluminum Carbide Al4C3 :

Wear-resistant materials: Aluminum carbide has high hardness and excellent wear resistance. It can be used to manufacture various wear-resistant devices, such as bearings, gears, tools, etc. In these applications, aluminum carbide effectively resists wear and corrosion through its high hardness and excellent wear resistance, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

Cutting tools: Because aluminum carbide has high hardness, high wear resistance, and excellent thermal conductivity, it is widely used in the manufacture of cutting tools, such as drills, milling cutters, and turning tools. These tools can stay sharp during cutting and have a long service life. Compared to traditional tool materials, aluminum carbide tools have higher cutting speeds and longer service life.

Aerospace field: Aluminum carbide has excellent high-temperature performance and can maintain stable performance in high-temperature environments. Therefore, aluminum carbide is widely used in the manufacture of high-temperature structural materials in the aerospace field, such as blades and combustion chambers of aircraft engines. Aluminum carbide can withstand high temperatures and stress while having excellent corrosion resistance, making it an ideal material choice in the aerospace field.

Energy field: The high thermal conductivity of aluminum carbide makes it have potential application value in the energy field. For example, aluminum carbide can be used as a radiator material for efficient energy conversion devices such as solar panels and fuel cells. In addition, aluminum carbide can also be used as a control rod material in nuclear reactors.

Other fields: Aluminum carbide can also be used in ceramic materials, electronic materials, and other fields. In ceramic materials, aluminum carbide can enhance the strength and wear resistance of ceramic materials. In electronic materials, aluminum carbide has good thermal conductivity and stable electrical properties and can be used to manufacture integrated circuit boards, electronic component radiators, etc. In addition, aluminum carbide can also be used as a catalyst carrier and electrolyte additive.
