Abstract
The self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (S.H.S.) process, which is promising for the fabrication of ceramic materials, was chosen to elaborate titanium carbonitride materials. The influence of parameters such as nitrogen gas pressure and carbon ratio on the microstructure was studied. A single phase product of Ti(C,N) is obtained for a carbon ratio under 15 at.% and a nitrogen pressure of 36 MPa. The increase of the carbon ratio corresponds to a decrease of the maximum temperature reached during the synthesis. Time resolved X-ray diffraction measurements (TRXRD) with the synchrotron radiation were used to determine the reaction mechanisms. We could observe that the synthesis of Ti(C,N) is preceded by the formation of titanium nitride. This reaction is initiated by the allotropic transition of α-Ti phase into β-Ti. In the final material the presence of sub-stoichiometric phases such as Ti 2N and α-Ti was observed.
