Abstract
TiC was synthesized by milling the mixture of Ti and C elemental powders in vacuum using the screw disc ball mill. The reaction was directly observed and the milling conditions to make TiC powders were clarified. Exothermic reactions during milling were occured at the milling time of 280-400, 70-94 and 16.6-17.8ks according to the disc rotational speed of 100, 200 and 400rpm, respectively. In all case, the amount of TiC as reaction products were of 92.5-93.0%.
