Properties of Ultrafine Aluminum Powder Stabilized by Aluminum Diboride

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper studies properties of an ultrafine aluminum powder produced by electric explosions of conductors, whose particles are stabilized by coating with aluminum diboride immediately during the synthesis of the powder. The ultrafine aluminum powder stabilized in such a manner has special properties: narrow particle size distribution, increased dispersity, and higher resistance to oxidation upon heating.
