Abstract
In this work, tantalum carbide (TaC) coatings were prepared on graphite substrates using a wet powder forming and sintering process with the addition of cobalt (Co) as a sintering aid. The effects of cobalt content on the densification, phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the TaC coatings were investigated. The addition of a small amount of Co promoted the densification of the coating and enhanced its hardness and elastic modulus. At a Co content of 1.5 wt%, the coating exhibited a relative density of approximately 95.7 %, a hardness of 18.1 GPa, and an elastic modulus of 395.0 GPa. Morphological analysis revealed the densification mechanism of the coating during the high-temperature sintering process. Under the influence of the Co liquid phase, TaC particles rearranged and underwent dissolution-precipitation in the liquid phase, ultimately achieving densification of the coating.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
