Abstract
Reactive hot pressing (RHP) as a low temperature processing route is explored in the present work. For this purpose, metal-carbide mixtures, 1:1 molar ratio of zirconium (Zr): zirconium carbide (ZrC) and titanium (Ti): ZrC, are chosen, along with a temperature of 900°C and 50 MPa pressure. Further, pressureless reaction sintering (RS) is done at 1300-1600°C temperature. It has been found that after 1400°C RS, both the compositions reach almost full density. Ti, ZrC composition shows higher hardness (13 vs 11 GPa) than the Zr, ZrC composition. This process would allow dense products to be made by RHP more economically at lower temperature.
