Abstract

Because of their unique properties, new materials must often be synthesized using unusual and innovative methods. For example, explosively generated shock waves have been used to assist in the consolidation of aluminide powders, resulting in full densification. Reaction synthesis, making use of a solid I liquid reaction to form an alloy, has also shown promise as a means of fabricating aluminides. Using reaction synthesis to form ternary intermetallic compounds may result in more favorable crystal structures and better ductility, but more investigation is necessary.
