Abstract
In our study, we aimed to synthesize the Cu2Sb phase with a tetragonal structure. We achieved this by subjecting compacts (2Cu + Sb) to electrothermal explosion (ETE) with a high current density of 500 Å. To analyze the constituent phases of the alloy composite, we employed X-ray diffraction analysis with the MAUD program, which utilizes the Rietveld method, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanical properties through Vickers indentation and compression techniques.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis is an international journal covering a wide range of topics concerned with self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), the process for the production of advanced materials based on solid-state combustion utilizing internally generated chemical energy. Subjects range from the fundamentals of SHS processes, chemistry and technology of SHS products and advanced materials to problems concerned with related fields, such as the kinetics and thermodynamics of high-temperature chemical reactions, combustion theory, macroscopic kinetics of nonisothermic processes, etc. The journal is intended to provide a wide-ranging exchange of research results and a better understanding of developmental and innovative trends in SHS science and applications.
