Editing Titanium carbide (section)

==Physical properties==
Titanium carbide has an [[elastic modulus]] of approximately 400 GPa and a shear modulus of 188 GPa.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/jap/37/10/10.1063/1.1707923 |title=Low-Temperature Elastic Properties of ZrC and TiC |last1=Chang |first1=R |last2=Graham |first2=L |date=1966 |journal=Journal of Applied Physics |volume=37|issue=10 |pages=3778–3783 |doi=10.1063/1.1707923|bibcode=1966JAP....37.3778C|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

Titanium carbide is soluble in solid [[titanium oxide]], with a range of compositions which are collectively named "titanium oxycarbide" and created by [[Carbothermic reaction|carbothermic]] reduction of the oxide.<ref>{{Cite thesis |title=Production of Titanium Metal by an Electrochemical Molten Salt Process |url=https://kilthub.cmu.edu/articles/thesis/Production_of_Titanium_Metal_by_an_Electrochemical_Molten_Salt_Process/6721160/1?file=12255587 |publisher=Carnegie Mellon University |date=2017-05-01 |degree=thesis |language=en |first=Farzin |last=Fatollahi-Fard}}</ref>
