Abstract

In this work, the crystal structure and (RMSD) root-mean-square displacement of atoms in new cubic refractory interstitial alloys Ti0.74Mo0.26C and Ti0.70Mo0.30C were determined by neutron diffraction. These alloys are obtained by powder metallurgy by sintering fine powders of cubic titanium carbides TiC and molybdenum MoC. The values of the RMSD of atoms in these alloys, obtained by the methods of least squares and full-profile analysis from the neutron diffraction data, turned out to be identical. They turned out to be much larger than in the stoichiometric TiC alloy, which has a similar cubic structure and close geometric parameters of atoms with the Ti0.74Mo0.26C and Ti0.70Mo0.30C alloys. These alloys were explained by the occurrence of large static distortions in the lattice of the Ti0.70Mo0.30C alloy due to the differences in the masses and atomic radii of the titanium and molybdenum elements.
