Electron-microscope study of the interaction of carbon with the reduction products of molybdenum from the trioxide

Soviet Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Conclusions

Carbide formation during carburization of MoO3 microcrystalline reduction products is possible at as low as 500°C.

Depending on conditions, only hexagonal carbide polycrystal forms from the initial crystal. It inherits the morphology of the MoO2 intermediate phase (MoO3 → MoO2 → Mo → Mo2C), or is practically a carbide single crystal having a very disperse porous structure (MoO3 → suboxide → Mo2C).

Under certain regimes, an intrusion phase of the bcc molybdenum lattice forms. This is probably cubic molybdenum carbide MoC1−x, which is based on the inheritance of the initial sublattice of the molybdenum atoms in the trioxide.
