Abstract—
We have studied the structuring of combustion products in the Ti–Al system upon interaction with carbon fibers during self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The combustion products have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy in combination with X-ray microanalysis using an energy dispersive detector. The results demonstrate the formation of a thin (~200–300 nm) TiC carbide layer on the surface of the graphite fibers. This layer is covered with a layer of nanolaminate grains of the Ti3AlC2 MAX phase. The present results can be useful in the fabrication of composite materials based on titanium aluminides reinforced with titanium carbide-coated carbon fibers.
