THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF TERNARY REFRACTORY CARBIDES. IV. RELATIONS BETWEEN THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES, BONDING, AND COMPRESSIBILITY

Abstract

The high temperature thermodynamic data obtained on ternary carbides having the sodium-chloride type structure have been correlated with the bonding and mechanical properties of these carbides. The metal-metal bonding on the metal sublattice in the carbide is the same as in the binary body-centered cubic metals. The variation of the carbon-carbon interaction energy and the metal- carbon interaction energy indicates that the metal-carbon bonds are localized bonds. From the variation of the difference in metal-carbon interaction energy with composition the compressibility of the carbides at elevated temperature can be calculated. The values are in excellent agreement with values derived from room temperature mechanical properties measurements.
