Conclusions
-
1.
A study was made of the oxidation of hot-pressed specimens of tantalum carbide, alloys of tantalum carbide with 5, 10, and 15% Ni and 10% (Ni, W), and VK8 alloy in air at temperatures of 500, 600, and 700°C.
-
2.
It was established that in the temperature range investigated tantalum carbide and its alloys are superior in oxidation resistance to VK8 alloy.
