Unveiling the effect of Ti substitutions on the static oxidation behavior of (Hf,Ti)C at 2,500°C

Hf-based carbides are highly desirable candidates for thermal protection applications above 2,000°C due to their extremely high melting point and favorable mechanical properties. However, as a crucial indicator for composition design and performance assessment, the static oxidation behavior of Hf-based carbides at their potential service temperatures has been rarely studied.
