The results of TiC crystals and cobalt matrix microstructure studies by means of transmission electron microscope are presented. TiC crystals were obtained by the HTS method using cobalt as a high-temperature solvent. The morphology of the obtained crystals was studied by physical metallurgy methods. X-ray phase analysis of the obtained samples was also performed. It was found that TiC crystals are the primary crystals during solidification of the Co-Ti-C melt. No dislocation loops were revealed in the boundary region: TiC – martensitic cobalt matrix.
