GILBERT Department of Chemistry and Barnett Institute of Chemical Analysis and Materials Science, Northeastern University, Boston, MA 02115, U.S.A. Abstract-A simple chemical process has been developed that allows the rapid conversion of carbon substrates to the refractory metal carbides (MC) of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum and tungsten. As a demonstration of the technique, graphite rods are infiltrated with an ethanolic solution of various metal oxide-halides, and resistively fired (1350-3000°C) under an argon atmosphere. The final composite produced is found to contain a residual carbon core within a fully dense metal carbide-carbon matrix outer layer. The effects of both firing temperatures, and the number of infiltration-fire treatments, have been investigated in order to determine optimum firing conditions (i.e. maximum carbide formation) for each individual metal carbide. To demonstrate the applicability of the technique for a range of substrate materials, niobium and titanium carbides were formed on carbon fibre tows and non-porous substrates, respectively. The formation of mixed Nb- Ti carbide coatings of varying composition were investigated in order to determine the factors controlling the formation of ternary phases. The identity of the transition metal precursors and the possible pathway of their conversion to the appropriate carbide is discussed. All the composites have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with associated energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

The aim of the investigation was to systematically study changes of struc- tural and adsorption properties depending on the synthesis conditions. CDCs were characterised using nitrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron micros- copy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The studies revealed the CDCs structures to range from amorphous to ordered, from microporous to mesoporous. It was found that structural ordering and porosity can be modi- fied by: i) synthesis temperature, ii) precursor, iii) density and volume of precursor, iv) catalysts, v) incorporation of nitrogen in to carbide structure, and CDCs can be tuned up to the demanded quality. They also exhibited a high potential for methane storage. iii iv LIST OF PUBLICATIONS Paper I. Porosity development along the synthesis of carbons from metal carbides S.

  • Ceramic Carbides: the Tough Guys of the Materials World
    Ceramic Carbides: The Tough Guys of the Materials World by Paul Everitt and Ian Doggett, Technical Specialists, Goodfellow Ceramic and Glass Division c/o Goodfellow Corporation, Coraopolis, Pa. Silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B4C) are among the world’s hardest known materials and are used in a variety of demanding industrial applications, from blasting-equipment nozzles to space-based mirrors. But there is more to these “tough guys” of the materials world than hardness alone—these two ceramic carbides have a profile of properties that are valued in a wide range of applications and are worthy of consideration for new research and product design projects. Silicon Carbide Use of this high-density, high-strength material has evolved from mainly high-temperature applications to a host of engineering applications. Silicon carbide is characterized by: • High thermal conductivity • Low thermal expansion coefficient • Outstanding thermal shock resistance • Extreme hardness FIGURE 1: • Semiconductor properties Typical properties of silicon carbide • A refractive index greater than diamond (hot-pressed sheet) Chemical Resistance Although many people are familiar with the Acids, concentrated Good Acids, dilute Good general attributes of this advanced ceramic Alkalis Good-Poor (see Figure 1), an important and frequently Halogens Good-Poor overlooked consideration is that the properties Metals Fair of silicon carbide can be altered by varying the Electrical Properties final compaction method.
