Convergence In the synthesis of materials based on graphite and molybdenum carbide

Abstract

This report presents the results of experimental studies of the synthesis of molybdenum carbide in plasma with arc direct current by vacuum method. The effect of the amplitude of the dilution circuit current on the phase composition of the synthesis product is established. The synthesis product contains a micromimensional component and a nanoscale. As part of the micrometric component, carbon fibers with a graphite structure, as well as modified fibers containing graphite and molybdenum carbide, were identified by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. The nanosized component contains clusters of particles that are a graphite matrix into which molybdenum carbide particles are immersed
