Conclusions
-
1.
A study was made of the oxidation of titanium carbide in an oxygen atmosphere at pressures of 10−5, 10−1, 10, and 150 mm Hg in the temperature range 500–1000°C.
-
2.
As a result of x-ray diffraction, metallographic, and electron microscopical investigations it has been established that the implantation of oxygen in the carbide lattice is accompanied by the precipitation of carbon and metallic titanium. The amount of metallic titanium precipitated grows with rise in temperature and oxygen pressure.
