Abstract
The evolution of modulated elemental reactants containing alternating layer s of carbon and Ti, W, or Mo was studied using differential scanning calori metry and X-ray diffraction. TiC crystallized at 350 degreesC from a modula ted reactant with a composition near 1:1 with respect to Ti and C. Mo2C and W2C nucleated at 500 and 600 degreesC, respectively, from modulated reacta nts with compositions close to their stoichiometry. No exotherms were obser ved in samples that had compositions that were not close to the stoichiomet ries of TiC, Mo2C, or W2C.
