Abstract
The phenomenon of chemical activation is investigated using combustion of the Nb−C system in the presence of an activating additive, namely, polytetrafluoroethylene, as an example. Regions of the parameters of the process are found where the interaction occurs by two different mechanisms. The characteristic features of the process are established and the role of the activating additive in each region is determined.
