Mechanochemical Synthesis of Carbide Under Conditions of Vibration Treatment of Powders of Hafnium and Carbon Black

Abstract

The results of investigations of mechanoactivation of a mixture of hafnium and carbon black powders in conditions of intensive vibration treatment using grinding bodies made of VK6 hard alloy and ShKh15 steel are presented. It is shown that the vibration treatment of the initial components leads to a mechanochemical synthesis of hafnium carbide starting from the first seconds of activation. Moreover, in the proposed treatment conditions, it is preferable to use steel grinding bodies.
