Summary:The effects of reactant dispersion and outgassing on the microstructure of combustion-synthesised TiC were investigated. Pressure filtration casting of Ti + C colloidal suspension was show to be an effective reactant dispersion method to improve the homogeneity of the product. The relation between the nature of the outgassing atmosphere and the formation of titanium oxide and precombustion titanium carbide was investigated. The combination of the colloidal dispersion technique with outgassing was shown to provide TiC products with reduced defects and improved microstructure. 28 refs.
