Abstract
In this study, a high-melting point element, tantalum carbide (TaC) was added to improve the mechanical properties and the oxidation/corrosion resistance of Fe. The Fe-TaC composites were synthesized by high energy ball milling for the mechanical alloying of the non-equilibrium phase (Fe-Ta) and the homogeneous dispersion of TaC. Fe-TaC composite..... More
