Abstract The behaviour of mechanical properties of TiC single crystals grown by r. f. floating zone process with nearly stoichiometric composition and low dislocation density were studied by the measurement of microhardness up to the temperature of 1500° C. First, anistropy in the microhardness of (100), (110) and (111) planes at room temperature, second the variation of indentations on (100) [001] orientation, (110) [001] orientation, and the (111) [1¯10] orientation at high temperature were described. Temperature dependency of the relaxation behaviour of indentation (900 to 1200° C) yields the activation energy for creep which is close to that obtained for self-diffusion of carbon in TiC.
