Abstract
Isothermal oxidation behavior of reactive hot-pressed TiN-TiB2 ceramics with various TiN/TiB2 molar ratios of 2/1, 1/1 and 1/2 was evaluated in the temperature range of 500-800°C in air. TiN-TiB2 ceramics have a relative density of 97-98.6%. The oxidation weight gains of TiN-TiB2 ceramics depend upon the composition, oxidation temperature and exposure time. The structure and morphology of oxidized layers of TiN-TiB2 ceramics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). During isothermal oxidation of TiN-TiB2 ceramics, anatase and rutile-TiO2 form as the oxidized products at 500°C. However, phase transformation from anatase to rutile occurs at temperatures between 500 and 600°C, and therefore rutile-TiO2 becomes the only crystalline phase after oxidation at temperatures of 600-800°C for 10h. The oxidation mechanism was proposed with reference to thermodynamically feasible oxidation reactions. The influence of composition on oxidation behavior of TiN-TiB2 ceramics varies with temperature.
