The technology of carbothermic reduction of titanium and boron oxides in the TiО 2-B 2 О 3-C reaction mixture at temperatures up to 1070 °C is presented. The temperature and atmospheric regimes of lowtemperature reduction of TiO 2 are determined. In the Ti-B-O-C system, successive phase formation of TiО 2 →Ti n O 2n-1 →TiBО 3 →TiC x O 1-x →TiB 2 at 1030 ÷ 1050 °C was realized, which was recorded by X-ray phase analysis of the samples after synthesis. The conditions for the realization of low-temperature synthesis are established, which consist in observing the prescriptions and special regimes for preparing the reaction mixture, the conditions for heating and holding the samples in a controlled atmosphere. For discussion, the mechanism of oxycarboboride phases formation at each of the stages of reduction of activated titanium oxide is presented. The principal possibility of low-temperature synthesis of TiB 2 in the composition of carbon-graphite products by free pitch technology in the conditions of existing kilns is shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
