Conclusions
Titanium carbide ingots were produced by melting a charge consisting of titania and carbon black in an arc furnace. Powders produced by mechanical comminution of the ingots consisted of grains characterized by a low heterogeneity indicator and a mean strength indicator exceeding one and a half to two times that of the TiC-2 powders being manufactured by industry on a series scale.
