Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
Titanium silicide compound was synthesized from the mixture of titanium and silicon powder with atomic ratios of 60:40 and 70:30. The powders were mixed by ball milling and pressed by different methods: by using uniaxial pressing at 64 MPa, cold isostatic pressing (CIP) at 200 MPa, hot forging (HF) at 648 MPa, and hot pressing (HP) at 24 MPa. The samples were then sintered at 1300o C or 1600o C for 2 hours soaking time in argon atmosphere. The sintered samples were subsequently characterized for phase constitution using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Ti5Si3 was observed as main compound of mixtures with …
