Synthesis of carbides of the (Ti‒Si‒Cr)‒C system using a combined method of burning solutions and controlled thermal heating gorenje

Studies have been conducted on the production of TiC‒SiC‒Cr2C3 carbides using a combined method of combustion solutions based on organic-salt compositions and controlled thermal heating. It is established that the phase composition of the materials is represented by the main phases of chromium, silicon and titanium carbides and titanium nitride. The influence of the synthesis atmosphere on the phase composition of the obtained materials has been studied. Based on synthesized powders by spark plasma sintering at 1800 °C and pressure of 50 MPa, was obtained material with a density of about 3400 kg/m3 and a microhardness of 22 GPa. The obtained carbide materials can be used to manufacture wear-resistant ceramic products for various industrial applications.
