The principles of manufacturing complex carbide compounds based on titanium

Abstract

Composite hard alloys based on carbides and carbonitrides with a metallic binder are widely used in the metalworking industry and other industrial sectors, both domestically and internationally. This is evidenced by the abundance of scientific research primarily focused on the alloying of carbide and the metallic binder with various additions of refractory metals to improve their operational properties. It's worth noting that the complex carbides were manufactured using the SHS method, which allows for the production of high-quality complex refractory compounds with stable properties, essential for producing composite hard alloys with high operational characteristics. The research included studies on using cheap raw materials, i.e., titanium sponge waste, for producing complex (Ti-W, Ti-Cr) carbide compounds. In Ukraine, there is no technical solution for producing titanium carbide and complex titanium-containing carbide using titanium sponge waste, which is highly relevant. The work studied the impact of the composition of titanium sponge waste, its dispersion, and the amount of impurities on the technological regimes for manufacturing complex carbides and their properties
