The current work presents the influence of magnesiothermic synthesis method on titanium carbide (TiC). In this method, powdered precursors and two carbon sources—turbostratic nanotubes—were employed in proportions 10 wt.% 20 wt.%. refinement X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns using Rietveld for TiC suggests suggested coexistence phases, cubic with Fm-3m space group hexagonal P3121 group. particular, sample sources, XRD revealed that phase accounted 94% composition, contrast to a secondary phase, Ti6C3.75, which comprised 6%. morphology (particle size shape) crystallite was monitored through bright-field transmission electron microscopy (BF-TEM) imaging XRD. samples containing carbon, homogeneous both (around 11 microns) shape observed, along reduction (from 22.7 17.8 nm). Raman band analysis further vibrational modes indicating induced disorder structure. developed offers low-cost approach interest aerospace automotive industries. Additionally, study provides significant insights particles used as additives or reinforcing agents enhance mechanical properties metal matrix composites (MMCs).
