Abstract
Synthesis products in mechanically activated powder mixtures of titanium and nickel of three compositions corresponding to double intermetallic compounds are studied. The mixtures are mechanically activated in a planetary mill at a rate of 40 g and a processing duration of 20 min. Synthesis is carried out by a thermal explosion: the mechanically activated mixtures are heated in a sealed reactor in an argon atmosphere at an average heating rate of 70°C /min. The phase composition of the powder products after synthesis and additional annealing is studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, and the results are discussed using the reference data on the temperature dependences of the Gibbs energy of intermetallic compounds. It is revealed that, regardless of the elemental composition of the mixtures, the TiNi3 intermetallic compound, which has the highest negative Gibbs energy, is predominantly formed during synthesis. Therefore, a single-phase target product can be obtained only from a TiNi3 mixture. Thermal explosion products in mixtures of the other two compositions are multiphase. Annealing causes no qualitative changes in the phase composition, and the quantitative changes in the phase content are negligible.
