Abstract
The effect of various conditions of mechanical activation of Ti + Zr + Hf + Nb + Ta + 5C mixtures on the microstructure of composite particles, regularities of their ignition, and phase composition of final products was studied. The activation of mixtures was found to decrease the ignition temperature by 600–900°C. It was shown that the intense mechanical activation reduces the activity of the mixture and the subsequent ignition in the thermal explosion mode transforms the mixture into high-entropy compound. Such transformation is not observed in conditions of long-term low-intensity activation.
