Titanium carbide commercial production

In order to better understand the importance of these new magne-sium/titanium-based Ziegler catalysts it is necessary to discuss several United States patents issued to Farbwerke Hoechst, Mitsubishi Chemical Industries, Montedison Industries, and Union Carbide Corporation. These patents were issued in the United States between 1972-1981 and provided the catalyst technology that led to the introduction of LLDPE and HOPE as important commercial products that created significant growth in the polyethylene industry. 

In order to be able to state that a conductive probe works, it should be stable over at least several hours. This is principally a question of the wear resistance of the conductive coating and additionally of its ability to withstand high current densities or the resulting temperature. Within the production process one has to ensure that the very last nanometers of the tip are conductive [440]. Conductive diamond and other commercially available hard coatings (tungsten carbide, W2C, and titanium nitride, TiN), as well as some other metals evaporated in our in-house production, are used in our studies.
