? 2022 Elsevier LtdThe present study provides a detailed description of all phenomena related to fabrication of dense vanadium carbide ceramics from nanopowders. The solid-state synthesis and characterization of initial microcrystalline and milled nanocrystalline VCx particles with x of 0.70–0.86 are documented. Densification kinetics of milled powders is investigated and sintered ceramics are analyzed in terms of hardness, microstructure, and phase composition. The synthesized and milled powders demonstrate order-disorder transitions during heat treatment, but the transition point is shifted for milled samples due to decarburization and partial dissolution of oxygen impurities. Overall, milled VC0.86 was found to be the most promising material because it provided single-phase ceramics with 97% density and 19 GPa hardness after sintering at 1300 °C for 30 min under vacuum.
