Structure and phase formation in the Ti–Al–Nb system in the thermal explosion mode

详细

This paper presents the results of the structure and phase formation in the Ti/Nb/2Al, Ti/Nb/2.5Al and Ti/Nb/3Al systems in the thermal explosion mode of self-propagating hightemperature synthesis. The morphology, phase composition, microstructure, and physical properties have been studied. It has been found that compounds with the highest content of aluminum have the most homogeneous composition and the lowest porosity. The main phase of the synthesis product is a phase based a solid solution of Nb in γ-TiAl.
