Conclusions
-
1.
It has been established that with fall in carbon content the Young's modulus, σtr, and microhardness of titanium carbide decreases.
-
2.
In vacuum friction tests the coefficient of friction of the carbide is directly proportional to its carbon content at temperatures of 20 and 400°C and inversely proportional to it at 1200°C. At 800°C the effect of composition on the coefficient of friction is negligible.
-
3.
The rate of wear of the carbide is proportional to the area of true contact.
-
4.
An x-ray structural analysis has demonstrated that the maxima on curves of physical interference line broadening observed after friction tests at all temperatures correspond to the carbide TiC0.68.
