THE OXIDATION OF HOT-PRESSED TITANIUM CARBIDE AND TITANIUM BORIDE IN THE TEMPERATURE RANGE 300-1000 C

Journal Article · · Powder Met.
The oxidation characteristics of pure hot-pressed titanium carbide and titanium boride (TiB/sub 2/) were studied in the range 300 to 1000 deg C. Titanium carbide shows a very marked peak in the rate of oxidation at approximately 450 deg C, the oxidation product at this temperature being anatase (TiO/sub 2/), which is powdery and non-adherent; the oxidation thus follows a linear law. Above approximately 700 deg C the rate increases rapidly and is approximately parabolic. The scale in this case consists of a dense crystalline film of rutile. The oxidation of the boride is less rapid than that of the carbide over the whole temperature range but it, too, shows a slight peak at 450 deg C. The oxidation tends to be parabolic at higher temperatures. The nature of the oxidation products was not determined. (auth)
