Popis: Open cell 3D titanium carbide/silicon carbide (TiC/SiC) composite was oxidised to titanium oxide/silicon carbide (TiO2/SiC) following different temperature profiles in a thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) instrument in continuous air-flow and static air (oven) environments. The TiC oxidation to anatase, starting at temperatures over 450°C, was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). By increasing the temperature, the mass fraction of anatase diminished, while the mass fraction of rutile increased. SiC oxidation started at 650°C when a mixture of TiO2/SiO2/SiC could be observed by Raman, XRD and HRTEM.
