Popis: | 1. The relative density of sintered nonstoichiometric TiCx phases grows, at any given specific surface and sintering temperature, with increasing deviation from stoichiometry. Comparison with calculated effective coefficients of self-diffusion has established that, at any given temperature, Deff increases with growth of C-vacancies, which is evidence that mass transport in the sintering of carbon-deficient TiCx phases involves a steadily growing diffusional mobility of their components. 2. At equal values of Deff the relative density of a carbide of any given composition increases with increasing powder dispersion, thereby reflecting the role of growing capillary forces. 3. As in the case of NbCx phases, equal relative densities in more carbon-deficient TiCx phases are attainable at larger coefficients Deff, which is due to hindered operation of threshold mechanisms of mass transport in deficient TiCx phases. 4. The microstructure of alloys obtained from TiCx phase powders synthesized by the SHS method is characterized by an appreciable grain size nonuniformity; with increasing deviation from stoichiometry the mean grain size grows. |
