Abstract—
TiAl-based composite materials have been produced by spin-casting self-propagating high-temperature synthesis metallurgy methods using thermite-type mixtures, general relationships in the formation of their composition and structure have been investigated, the synthesis conditions have been optimized, a method for obtaining large ingots has been proposed, and their composition and structure have been determined. We have obtained cast Nb- and Cr-doped TiAl-based composite materials using mixtures of Ti, Nb, Cr, and Ca oxides with a combined reducing agent (Al and Ca) under the effect of an overload above 200g. It has been shown that partial Ca substitution for Al in the starting mixture ensures complete reduction of the TiO2, and the resultant metallic phase contains calculated amounts of Ti and Al. Mixtures of optimized composition make it possible to produce a cast composite material similar in composition to alloy 4822.
