A method for studying the thermophysical properties of refractory carbides under pulsed electric heating for 5—10 microseconds is considered. Results are presented for (ZrC; Zr+C; TaC+HfC; HfC) as a function of the temperature measured from ∼ 2000 K to 5000 K. Data on enthalpy, specific heat C_p, heat of melting, and electrical resistance are given. For all the studied carbides, a sharp increase in the specific heat of the solid phase is observed at ≈ 300 K before melting. This may be due to the formation of paired Frenkel defects under conditions of a short heating time. Comparative data on the results obtained for all carbides are presented, and the choice of carbides for creating thermal protection is discussed.
