Electron microscopical investigation of the fracture surfaces of fused carbides of some transition metals

  • Published:
Soviet Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    A study was made, by the electron-fractography method, of the structure of the rupture surfaces of fused titanium, zirconium, niobium, and tantalum carbides.

  2. 2.

    It was established that fused carbides undergoing cleavage rupture as brittle materials exhibiting mainly transgranular fracture.

  3. 3.

    A pronounced influence upon a number of physicomechanical characteristics of this class of brittle materials is exerted by the presence in their structure of microductility areas.
