Effect of nickel on sintering processes in the Ti-Fe system. Part I

Conclusions Diffusional interaction in the Ti-Fe-Ni system is more vigorous than that in the Ti-Fe system. The temperature of the first ternary eutectic point in the Ti-Fe-Ni system, determined by the contact melting method, is 1040°C. During the sintering of compacts from a mixture of Ti, Fe, and Ni powders at temperatures above the eutectic point growth is observed, whose extent depends on the sintering temperature and the particle size of the powder employed: The smaller the particle size and the higher the sintering temperature, the smaller is the growth.Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, No. 7(247), pp. 34–39, July, 1983.
