Microstructural characterization of a composite Mo reinforced by 25at.% TiC

“…Titanium carbide (TiC) matrix composites were widely studied in 1980s [1] and some reviews on the modern cermets are given in the literature [2][3][4][5]. Because of their high hardness, thermal stability, relatively high thermal and electrical conductivities, as well as excellent creep and wear resistance, those cermets have been successfully used for cutting tools in finishing work of steel and iron.…”

V2AlC, V4AlC3-x (x ≈ 0.31), and V12Al3C8: Synthesis, Crystal Growth, Structure, and Superstructure

“…Binary carbides and nitrides of group IV and V transition metals are important high-temperature hard materials with extremely high melting points . Recent investigations on ternaries such as Ti 3 SiC 2 , Ti 3 AlC 2 , Ti 4 AlN 3 , and related compounds of the series (MX) n (MM‘) (M = “early” transition metal; M‘ = main group metal; X = C, N; n = 1, 2, 3 …”

Carbides and Nitrides of Zirconium and Hafnium

“…Among them, much more data are available for ZrC and were summarized, analyzed, and discussed in an excellent review by Jackson and Lee [81]. The papers by Lengauer et al [3,38,39,40,41,112,124] provide analysis of solid state properties of Zr and Hf compounds in the larger frame of transition metal carbonitrides.…”

“…Titanium carbide and carbonitrides have been used as cermets constituents since 1970; most of the produced tools for metal cutting are coated with multilayer TiN-TiCN-TiC coatings, applied through physical or chemical vapor deposition processes. These coatings reduce wear through increased hardness and lowering frictional welding at high operating speed [3]. For the last three decades, more than 1000 papers have been published every year on Ti carbides and nitrides (Figure 1).…”
