Abstract

Hardness investigations of titanium carbide are made in the homogeneity range from room temperature to 2270 °K. It is found that the hardness decreases with decreasing carbon content in the carbide. Activation energies of dislocation movement according to the Peierls-Nabarro mechanism of plastic deformation are determined.
