Synthesis of Hf-C-N ceramics by spark plasma sintering

Abstract

We obtained the Sample by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) of commercially available HfC and HfN powders. The identification of obtained material was carried out by the X-ray diffraction and the Raman spectroscopy. The solid solution of previous material was confirmed. However oxide phase excreted wile sintering presumably duo to oxygen impurities of used commercially powders.
