Thermodynamically stable or metastable compounds in the binary(boron suboxides)and ternary (boron carbonitrides)systems are also potential candidates for superhard materials.

Effect of Ti(C,N) on properties of low-carbon MgO-C brick;

Effect of Ti(C,N) content on properties of low carbon MgO-C brick;

The conclusions are given as following: it's impossible to form pure TiN When there is solid carbon in the slag Fe interface, but Ti(C,N) can be formed, contained TiN amount increases with pressure of Nitrgon in the slag Fe int erface.

The main preparation technologies of titanium carbonitride coating are reviewed in the present paper.

Titanium carbonitride coating has excellent mechanical and tribological properties.

Studies on the carbothermal preparation of titanium carbonitride powders in the open system

Based on thermodynamic analysis, titanium carbonitride were prepared by carbothermal reduction from high titanium slag which were compounded by TiO2 - CaO - SiO2 - Al2O3 - MgO based on the titanium - bearing blast furnace slag of PZH Steel.

and the calculating results show that the titanium carbonitrides undissolved or precipitated at high temperature are very similar to the pure TiN.
