Abstract:
The assessed phase diagram of Ti-C system shown in Fig. 1
is taken from [1998Oka]. Other recent work was done on this
system by [1995Alb], [1996Sei], and [1996Jon]. The system
consists of two terminal solids aTi and b Ti and a refractory
monocarbide TiC. Other phases present are liquid and graphite
(C). Two eutectic and one peritectoid reaction appear in this
system at 1646, 2776, and 920 °C, respectively. There seems to
be a tendency of carbon ordering at compositions below stoichiometry;
as a result, the Ti2C phase does not appear in the
binary phase diagram. Crystal structure data shown in Table 1
are taken from [Massalski2].
