“…As compared to WC-and TiC-based materials, TiB 2 -Ti(C,N) composites exhibit higher hardness and corrosion resistance at high temperatures, which makes them promising for use in cutting instruments and structural materials for aerospace and motor-car engineering [1][2][3][4]. According to [5][6][7][8], the TiB 2 -Ti(C,N) system admits the formation of the ternary 36TiB 2 -44TiC-20TiN eutectic (mol %).…”
