Studying the properties of carbides in the system ZrC–HfC, TaC–ZrC and TaC–HfC

Abstract Considers the chemistry of carbides of zirconium, hafnium and tantalum and their high temperature properties. By hot pressing the obtained dense materials in the systems ZrC– HfC, TaC–ZrC, and TaC–HfC analysed their microstructure, physical and mechanical properties.
