Influence of Nanosized Titanium Carbide on the Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of a Composite Material Based on Titanium Carbosilicide

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

The influence of the content of nanosized titanium carbide on the density, phase transformations, microstructure, hardness, and wear resistance of a Ti3SiC2/TiC composite obtained by spark-plasma sintering was investigated. The content of TiC nanoparticles varied in the range 0 – 4 wt.%. Composites with 1 wt.% of added nanosized TiC were shown to have higher wear resistance than those that did not contain TiC nanoparticles or had a content >1 wt.%.
