Abstract
SHS reaction in non-activated and mechanically activated (Ti + 2B) + x(Fe + Co + Cr + Ni + Al) systems (x = 0–80 wt %) was explored by XRD, SEM, and granulometric analyses aiming at the synthesis of HEA-matrix TiB2 composite. The reaction in non-activated mixtures yielded integral samples of HEA–TiB2 cermet. Reaction in activated mixtures yielded highly porous brittle products. Combustion temperature, burning velocity, and the size of TiB2 grains in resultant material were found to decrease with increasing x. Our results may turn useful to those engaged in R and D of new cermet composites.
