Effect of Ti + C Mixture Characteristics on Combustion Parameters and TiC Structure
摘要
Abstract
The effect of mechanical activation (MA) on the characteristics of Ti + C reaction mixtures, their combustion kinetics, and the microstructure of TiC ceramics synthesized via forced SHS compaction was studied. It was shown that increasing MA time enhances the Ti–C contact surface, which directly dictates a ten-fold rise in burning velocity and a 3.5-fold decrease in TiC grain size.
