Determination of Non-stoichiometry of Tubular Titanium Carbide Formed by Self-propagating High Temperature Synthesis

摘要

Titinium carbide (TiC_x) was produced by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) method. The morphology and non-stoichiometric number of the SHS product were observed by scanning electron microscopy and neutron diffractometry, respectively. Tubular titanium carbide with hole inside was formed with different non-stoichiometric number (x), which value increased with combustion temperature.
