High Temperature Oxidation Study Of Tantalum Carbide-Hafnium Carbide Solid Solutions Synthesized By Spark Plasma Sintering, Cheng Zhang

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Tantalum carbide (TaC) and hafnium carbide (HfC) possess extremely high melting points, around 3900 oC, which are the highest among the known materials. TaC and HfC exhibit superior oxidation resistance under oxygen deficient and rich environments, respectively. A versatile material can be expected by forming solid solutions of TaC and HfC. However, the synthesis of fully dense solid solution carbide is a challenge due to their intrinsic covalent bonding which makes sintering challenging.

The aim of the present work is to synthesize full dense TaC-HfC solid solutions by spark plasma sintering with five compositions: pure HfC, HfC-20 vol.% TaC …
