The influence of the modes of activated mixing on the characteristics of the reaction mixture and combustion parameters was studied. The influence of technological parameters on combustion characteristics and structure of consolidated titanium carbide was also investigated. It was found that the rate and temperature of combustion strongly depend on the size, mass, and density of charge compacts. With an increase in the diameter (20–58 mm) and weight (10–70 g) of pressed samples from mixtures with activated reagents, the combustion rate varied from 10 to 100 cm/s, and the combustion temperature varied from 2200 to 3100°C. A strong influence of the prepressing pressure (applied at the combustion stage) on the combustion rate and temperature was shown: in the pressure range of 0–10 MPa, the combustion rate sharply decreases from 100 to 10 cm/s. In the pressure range of 0–40 MPa, the combustion temperature decreases monotonically from 3000 to 2000°C. A mechanism of high-speed combustion of the reaction mixture of titanium and soot has been proposed, in which the determining factors are the mechanical activation of the components of the mixture (titanium and soot) and the formation of radial cracks (channels) in the pressed samples, which ensure the propagation of incandescent impurity gases into the inner layers and the initiation of the carbidization reaction in the volume of charge compacts.</p>","PeriodicalId":765,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals","volume":"64 4-6","pages":"31 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142451032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study investigates the influence of mechanical activation of metallic components in reactive mixtures based on the Ti + C + Cr + Ni system on the structure and properties of the resulting composites. Mechanical activation of the Ti, Cr, and Ni metallic powders was performed using two methods. In the first method, Cr and Ni powders were activated separately from the other components of the reactive mixtures using grinding media in a ball mill, after which they were mixed with Ti and carbon black powders. It was shown that the preliminary mechanical activation of the inert components reduces the combustion temperature and rate, which increases the average size of carbide grains. The second method involved a joint processing of Ti + Cr, Ti + Ni, and Ti + Cr + Ni powder mixtures in a ball mill, which were then mixed with carbon black. This method provided mechanical activation of titanium particles while minimizing the impact of grinding media on Cr and Ni powders. This led to an increase in the combustion rate and temperature, a decrease in the average size of carbide grains, and an improvement in the uniformity of the composite structure. A mechanism of interaction between the reagents (Ti + C) involving activated Cr and Ni particles in the combustion and structure formation zones is proposed. According to this mechanism, the mechanical activation of inert components leads to their direct participation in the reaction between titanium and carbon, which determines the reduction in combustion rate and temperature and affects the dispersion and uniformity of the structure of compact composites.

The method of electrodeposition of copper composites with nanodispersed silicon carbide particles is considered as the main approach to obtaining such coatings. Electrochemical codeposition of nanoparticle agglomerates and a copper matrix makes it possible to obtain the required multimodal roughness of coatings. This coating, after treatment with stearic acid, acquires superhydrophobic properties. The paper presents data on the morphology, superhydrophobic properties and chemical composition of coatings. The optimal mode for the formation of such coatings has been determined. According to the results of mechanical tests, the superhydrophobic Cu–SiC composite is superior in resistance to dry friction to many other superhydrophobic coatings formed by electrochemical methods. The resulting coatings have a developed surface morphology, which makes it possible to achieve a wetting angle of 162°. This determines the increased corrosion resistance of copper coated with a superhydrophobic Cu–SiC composite in the salt spray chamber. The time until the first corrosion damages appears on copper in the salt spray chamber increases from several hours (without coating) to 3.5 days (with coating). In this case, the coating continues to remain generally superhydrophobic for more than a day, and after the loss of superhydrophobicity, it remains hydrophobic.</p>","PeriodicalId":765,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals","volume":"64 1-3","pages":"15 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141258925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
