Mechanical and Chemical Characterization of a TiC/C System Synthesized Using a Focus Plasma Arc

Mechanical and Chemical Characterization of a TiC/C System Synthesized Using a Focus Plasma Arc

Titanium carbide-graphite (TiC/C) composite was successfully synthesized from Ti and C starting elemental powders using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis technique in an ultra-high plasma inter medium in a single stage. The TiC was exposed to a high-temperature inert medium to allow recrys...
