TheBeginning
2003, for a PhD thesis of a student, it was decided that synthesis of metal
carbides was chosen as a topic of research.
Normally metal carbides are very hard in nature. The importance of
carbides lies in their chemical stability wear resistance good thermal carbides lies in their chemical stability, wear resistance, good thermal
conductivity and oxidation resistance.
Another application of carbides is their potential use as the reinforcement
constituent in metalmatrix composites constituent in metal matrix composites.
Iron Carbide, Fe

C (an important phase of steel also termed as cementite)
(metastable at all temperatures)
Choice of synthesizing pure cementite was unusual Metastable phase Choice of synthesizing pure cementite was unusual Metastable phase
had no direct industrial application had certain amount of scientific
curiosity & challenge.
Reaction milling Grinding process very fine powder (old concept) Reaction milling Grinding process very fine powder (old concept)
Preliminary experiments were done in Fritsch Pulverisette Mill available in
the institute that time (in 120 hr, very small Fe
3
C peak feasible) did not
have a high enough energy to do the task have a high enough energy to do the task.
Crude prototype was developed in 6 months and in 40 hr milled powder
was analyzed using XRay Diffraction: moment of triumph.
