TiC/Fe composites were successfully fabricated in situ by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) technology. The effect of Fe content on the microstructure of the synthetic products was discussed. Results showed that the SHS products of Ti-C-30wt%Fe system were mainly composed of TiC and Fe as well as a few Fe2Ti.Spherical TiC particles with 2-3μm distributed on the Fe matrix uniformly. With the increase of Fe content, the combustion temperature reduced, resulting in the decrease of growth rate of TiC particles.
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.
