Abstract Tungsten carbide was synthesized by SHS process using highly exothermic mixture [Mg+ {-C₂F_(4-)}] as an activate additive and tungsten, carbon elements as starting raw materials. The tungsten carbide was obtained at 2500K combustion temperature. In the final product, MgF₂ and small amount of W₂C , which were byproducts, were completely removed by acidic leaching. The purity of tungsten carbide was 99%, after leaching.
