Abstract
The experimental results for the fabrication of TiC powder from TiO₂by self-combustion reaction are summerized as follows; 1) The mole ratio of Mg was the greatest affecting factor in the reaction and the mole ratio of C, particle size of Mg, mixing times affected the reaction as well. 2) MgO and Mg were completely removed by leaching in the 20% HCl solution. 3) The TiC powders had a spherical shape and the particle size was 0.3-0.4 microns with a narrow distribution. 4) Purity of manufactured TiC powder was about 99.925 weight percent.
