Thermodynamic Calculations of Certain Reactions Taking Place During the Settling out of Titanium Carbide from Gaseous Phase

摘要

An examination is made of the thermodynamic characteristics of the possible reactions taking place during the reduction of titanium tetrachloride vapors with hydrogen. Evidence indicates the TiCl4 is successivly reduced through TiCl3 and TiCl2 to free metallic Ti which immediately reacts with carbon from methane in the mixture to form TiC.
