Combustion synthesis in the Ti + C/Ti + Al system-Influence of reactant composition

摘要

Titanium aluminides have considerable development potential as high temperature materials due to their low density, high strength and good oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures [1]. On the other hand, TiC is an extremely hard material and has a very high melting point [2]. Composition materials consisting of TiC and titanium aluminides are expected to find use in various structural, cutting tool and armor applications.
