Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of composite materials. The high-melting compounds (TiC,TiB2)-intermetallides,their structure and properties

Regularities of the SHS of four-component powder mixtures of quasibinary sections (titanium carbide or diboride-intermetallide Ni₃Al or NiTi) are studied. Combustion rates and temperatures are determined. Specific features of the combustion as a function of the composition are revealed. The character of structure formation and the properties of the synthesized materials, including those produced in SHS compaction, are considered.Siberian Physicotechnological Institute, Tomsk.
