Figure 3From: Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of nano-TiC x particles with different shapes by using carbon nano-tube as C source Mean sizes and the size distribution of the TiC x particles. (a) Mean sizes calculated based on the statistic analysis of a hundred of TiC x particles in the FESEM images. (b, c, d) Size distribution of the TiC x particles formed in the samples with 80 wt.% Cu, Al, and Fe, respectively.Back to article page
