Abstract

In this study, we propose novel PWD methods in inert gas mixed organic vapor and organic liquid which work as harmless carbon sources. Metal zirconium wire evaporation by PWD in organic vapor or liquid media was investigated. It was confirmed that in the PWD process using oleic acid liquid, single phase zirconium carbide nanopowders were synthesized by a reaction between Zr vapor and oleic acid. A new method for synthesis of carbide nanopowders was developed using the PWD in organic liquid. Therefore, the present result suggested that PWD method in oleic acid liquids is effective for the synthesis of carbide nanopowders.
