METAL-LIKE CARBIDES. PART I. SINTERABLITY INVESTIGATIONS

摘要

Metals belonging to groups 4-6 of periodic table of elements form with carbon compounds named metal-like carbides (TiC_(1-x),NbC,TaC,WC,Cr_yC_z). It was established that it is possible to manufacture dense sintered bodies of this carbides at temperatures close to 2000°C using only carbon powder as an additive. Its role consists in reduction of oxide impurities.
