Abstract

Thermal reaction characteristics of nano/micron-sized aluminum mixtures in a carbon dioxide atmosphere were investigated by thermogravimetry that aimed to examine the interactions between nanosized aluminum powder and micron-sized aluminum powder. Thermal reaction characteristics of nano/micron-sized aluminum mixtures at different ratios were studied. The synergistic effect mechanism was discussed by comparing experiment result and theoretical calculation. The morphologies and compositions of products were obtained by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction technologies. Results indicated that there were three weight gain stages for nano/micron-sized aluminum mixtures at different ratios. Although the temperature range of synergistic effect of nano/micron-sized aluminum mixtures with various ratios had somewhat differences, there was a significant synergistic effect from about 900 to 1040°C. The products analyses indicated that the products morphologies of nano/micron-sized aluminum particles showed molten and stuck together, and products contained aluminum and α-Al2O3.
