The explosive‐consolidation technique developed to fabricate combustion‐synthesized titanium carbide and titanium diboride has been applied to hafnium carbide. Presently, the application of this technique results in a moderately dense HfC product. Sample confinement and configuration, explosive loading, and total heat available for the combustion‐synthesis process were found to influence product characteristics. The key features of the process as well as some of the properties of the HfC ceramics produced are described.
