Using ilmenite as raw material,CNTs/TiC composite was prepared in microwave plasma and microwave field.The main purpose of this study was to explore a new method for rational utilization of ilmenite.The proper processing conditions for preparation of CNTs is obtained by studying effect of microwave power and chamber pressure on formation of CNTs.The synthesis condition of CNTs/TiC composite was also discussed.The optimum process parameters for preparation of CNTs are microwave power of 550W,chamber pressure of 5kPa,and treating time of 40 min,with flow rates of CH4 and H2 being 2.3mL·min~(-1) and 45mL·min~(-1),respectively.After formation of CNTs,forced carbonization is conducted with microwave power of 900W for 20min to synthesize CNTs/TiC composite powder. The results show that CNTs/TiC composite coating on iron exhibits higher hardness and lower friction coefficient.
