What are carbides?..

Answer / Tauheed Ullah Khan

Carbides are compounds consisting of a metallic element combined with carbon. In metallurgy, they are often formed as precipitates or intermetallics within a metal matrix. Carbides can significantly influence the properties of metals, such as hardness, wear resistance, and melting point. Examples include tungsten carbide (W2C), titanium carbide (TiC), and silicon carbide (SiC).
