Abstract

Heterogeneous nanostructured foils produced by magnetron deposition or mechanical processing represent a new class of reactive materials. They are composed of layers or clusters of different phases (typically with a size of 10–100 nm) that can react with each other with strong heat release. The reaction, being initiated locally, spontaneously propagates across the entire foil in the form of high-temperature wave. Some examples of promising practical applications of these foils in advanced technologies, such as joining dissimilar materials, were presented.
