Abstract:In this study, tantalum carbide (TaC) was synthesized using an innovative approach that synergistically integrates mechanosynthesis and electric arc furnace processes. By employing high-energy ball-milling (HEBM) for 50 min under environmental conditions, TaC-WC powders were successfully synthesized, using a powder mixture of tantalum and carbon in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. This method yielded a composition of 72.5 wt.% TaC and 27.5 wt.% WC, with an average particle size of 0.7±0.3 µm. The use of an electric… Show more
