Background technology
Titanium carbide is typical transition metal carbide.Titanium carbide have HS, high firmness, high temperature resistant, acid and alkali-resistance corrodes, wear-resistant, good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and to the excellent properties such as unreactiveness of iron and steel metalloid, is the material that the utmost point has using value.Especially it is fine, ultrafine powder equates the aspect as the enhancing of matrix material, has great exploitation value and application prospect.
The preparation method who carries out to the titanium carbide powder at present is a lot, like carbothermic method, chemical Vapor deposition process, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method and sol-gel method etc.But all there is certain deficiency in these methods.
In a lot of methods of synthesizing titanium carbide, carbothermic method is a kind of traditional method, and synthesis mechanism is simple, is generally adopted at present.Under 1700 ~ 2100 ℃ of conditions, select for use carbon black reduction titanium oxide to make the titanium carbide powder in the industry.In the reduction reaction process, because grain growing and interparticle chemically bonded, the synthetic powder has the particle size distribution of broad, needs ball milling processing.In addition, the reaction times is longer, in the reaction owing to receive the influence of diffusion gradient to make synthetic powder purity lower.
Chemical Vapor deposition process can synthesize the titanium carbide powder of median size less than 100 nanometers, and can control TiC through the amount that changes reactant
xStoichiometric number can effectively be controlled the titanium carbide powder that synthesizes 1:1.This method weak point is that building-up process is complicated, and output is restricted, and gaseous feed TiCl
4With the HCl in the product intensive corrodibility is arranged, unfavorable to human body.
The reaction of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method is exceedingly fast, and produces titanium carbide in case light the combustion wave of back generation through reactant titanium and carbon.The titanium carbide of separating out is not because of there being the time enough nodularization, and keeps the shape facility of carbon granule basically, so the porosity of product is bigger.These method needs are high-purity, the superfine titanium valve is made raw material, so the densification of product, size and porosity are to improve the emphasis of titanium carbide synthetic technology in the future.
Sol-gel method be with metallorganics through dissolving form solution, then become colloidal sol, produce gel at last and solidify, form final product through bakingout process again.Utilize this method synthesizing titanium carbide controlled substance composition preferably, but cost is higher relatively, operates also more complicated.
In a word, all there is certain deficiency in the technology of preparing to the titanium carbide powder at present: higher like cost of material, and complex technical process, wayward, yield poorly etc., greatly limited the industrialization production of titanium carbide powder.
