X-ray analysis and microstructure of the molybdenum carbide phase formed during carbidization of Mo-chips with powdered carbon in an ETRB condition process has been determined, and the microhardness of the final product (Hμ = 20050 MPa) was measured. The ability to use scrap-metal or chips from previous work as starting components to obtain molybdenum carbide in an elecrothermal rotary bed is proved.enArticle
