Ferro-TicŪ SBC, a division of PSM Industries, Inc., manufactures components for severe wear applications using steel-bonded Titanium Carbide materials.  Titanium Carbide outlasts conventional tool steels by a factor of 10, while at the same time providing much better fracture toughness than cemented Tungsten Carbide.  In an annealed state, these unique materials are machinable by conventional machining methods, such as turning, milling and drilling.  In heat-treated state, they can achieve hardness of HRC 69.
