“…Furthermore, this material can be combined with other ceramic systems such as aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ), and silicon carbide (SiC) for the fabrication of structural components used in high temperature, erosive, and/or corrosive applications. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] TiC powders can be synthesized by direct reaction between titanium and carbon, carbothermal reduction of titanium oxide sources, gas phase reaction, selfpropagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), sol gel, spark erosion, microwave heating, laser chemical vapor deposition, and so on which have drawbacks though, such as the formation of a coarse sintered structure, formation of a non-stoichiometric composition, need for initial raw materials of high purity, and need for post-milling. Furthermore, each method has varying characteristics of particle size and distribution, morphology, state of agglomeration, chemical purity, and stoichiometry.…”
