Pressureless sintering of submicron titanium carbide powders
Utilizing laboratory-synthesized submicron powders, monolithic titanium carbide (TiC) was sintered to a relative density of ~ 95.7% through pressureless sintering (PS) at a temperature of 1700 °C, which is at least ~ 400 °C lower than any other reported sintering temperatures.By comparing with commercial micron grade TiC, results indicate …
