Abstract:Tantalum carbide (TaC) is an extremely hard material with features such as high hardness, high melting point, high chemical stability, good resistance to chemical and thermal shock and excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Thus, this study aimed to obtain nanostructured TaC from precursor tris (oxalate) hydrate ammonium oxitantalato through gas-solid reaction at low temperature (1000°C) and short reaction time. The materials obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement… Show more
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.
