Some transition metal carbides such as WC, VC, and TiC are used as cutting tools and abrasive materials due to their significant properties such as high hardness, high melting temperature, high thermal conductivity, and relatively high chemical stability [1,2]. These carbides are widely used in the production of hard alloys in single-phase or in combination with other phases for the aforementioned applications. Vanadium carbide, due to its excellent high chemical stability, high hardness (9-9.5 Mohs), and high-temperature performance (melting point=2810 ° C), is widely used as a catalyst, hard alloy, and inhibitor of grain growth in strengthening phases in matrix or coating materials [6-8]. The current challenge in metal ceramic manufacturing is to develop simple synthesis methods that provide the required product characteristics. Many methods have been used to synthesize ultrafine and nano cermets, such as hydrothermal [11], spark plasma sintering [12], sol gel [13] and hot isostatic pressing [14]. However, due to factors such as time, economy, and efficiency, most processes have not yet been widely applied in actual production.
