(W^sub 0.5^Al^sub 0.5^)C^sub 0.5^ substoichiometric compound is synthesized by a combination of mechanical milling and high-pressure reactive sintering. X-ray diffraction is used to monitor the phase changes and crystallization of (W^sub 0.5^Al^sub 0.5^) C^sub 0.5^ during the whole reaction process. As a result, (W^sub 0.5^Al^sub 0.5^) C^sub 0.5^ is identified as the hexagonal WC-type belonging to the P-6m2 space group (No. 187), and the lattice parameters of (W^sub 0.5^Al^sub 0.5^)C^sub 0.5^...
