At this stage of the development of industrial nanostructure compounds, materials containing carbides and borides of metals, especially zirconium ZrB2ZrC, are widely used composite materials of nanostructures.
The purpose of the work is to study the physical and chemical bases of high-temperature carbide production processes and borides of the specified system, which will give a chance to perform a minimum number of experiments.
A full thermodynamic analysis was performed to determine the conditions for the formation of boride and zirconium carbide in the Zr - B - O - C system.
A complete thermodynamic analysis was performed in a vacuum for the reactions 2ZrO2 + B2O3 + 8C = ZrB2 + ZrC + 7CO.
On the basis of theoretically obtained results, it is possible to experimentally obtain a composite material ZrB2 / ZrC.
