Abstract
Titanium carbide and boron carbide each have physical properties which are desirable in creating a light material that can retain its strength through rapid temperature changes and with use at sustained elevated temperatures (815°C and above). In the present study, mixtures of these carbides, in finely divided form, were compacted with several different metals and fired in an argon atmosphere at temperatures ranging from 1925° to 2065°C. The reactions occurring between the carbides and metals are discussed and the compositions showing the greatest promise for further work are indicated.
