These carbides also have similar properties and characteristics. Of the three, titanium carbide has been more investigated and is the most important from an application standpoint. It is produced industrially on a large scale in the form of powders, molded shapes, and thin films. The... 

Petrii and Entin [54, 57, 78, 150, 180, 243] investigated the adsorption and electrochemical characteristics of platinum and ruthenium alloys in detail. The optimum alloy compositions for oxidation of methanol at various temperatures were determined, the anodic oxidation reactions of various compounds of the alloys were investigated, the stability of the alloys after prolonged use was investigated, and the characteristics of platinum— ruthenium alloys prepared by various methods (skeletal electrodes, electro-lytically mixed deposits on a platinum and titanium carbide bases, powders deposited by sodium borohydride, smooth alloys) were compared. It was found that heat treatment of platinum - ruthenium alloys at 800 C in an atmosphere of inert gas led to loss of their high catalytic properties and formation of catalysts which behave similarly to platinum. This phenomenon is explained by diffusion of ruthenium atoms from the surface layer into the volume.
