Conclusions
-
1.
Specimens of composite material based on niobium carbide obtained by hydrostatic pressing had minimum porosity compared with specimens obtained by the normal powder metallurgy method.
-
2.
Basic phases of the composite material consisting of copper and niobium carbide are uniformly distributed throughout the specimen cross section and they do not react with each other under any conditions.
-
3.
The composite material obtained exhibits sufficient resistance to thermal shock and it is not subject to brittle failure which is typical for similar type materials obtained by other methods.
