Abstract

Among the increasingly popular materials are composites combining the properties of metals and ceramic, and also the properties that result from the interaction of their dissimilar components. This paper provides a brief review of methods used to prepare components for synthesizing oxide-doped composites. The review is supplemented with experimental data on the sintering of Ti-based powder mixtures and with an analysis of physicochemical stages that may accompany the sintering of Ti–Al–Fe2O3 and Ti–Fe–Al2O3 powders of the same elemental composition under controlled heating. It is found that the sequence of phase formation stages depends on the factors of interparticle contacts. The sintering of powder mixtures composed of two metals and an oxide phase creates conditions for the formation of complex solutions (TiFeAl for Ti–Al–Fe2O3) and double oxides (FeAl2O4 for Ti–Fe–Al2O3) and decreases the probability of intermetallic compound formation. Of importance for Ti–Al–Fe2O3 is the mode of mixing as it determines the stages of mesoscale processes.
