Conclusions
-
1.
Plasma deposition of zirconium, and niobium carbides should be performed in a gaseous medium with an oxygen percentage lower than 0.3% by volume, using particles with a mean size of 30 μm.
-
2.
For niobium carbide, the maximum attainable composition in plasma vaporized coating is NbC0.8.
-
3.
For zirconium carbide, the maximum composition achieved in our experiments was ZrC0.9; however, there is no obstacle in principle to achieving a ZrC composition.
-
4.
The percentage of free carbon in the vaporized coating of carbides is reduced by about one half.
