In the paper there is considered the impact of nickel alloy addition upon the process of titanium carbide phase formation during the realization of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis in aluminum melt. The regularities of structure formation and optimum conditions for an engineering process for Al-4%Ni-10%TiC composite manufacturing are defined.
The results of tribological characteristics of alumomatric composite material Al — 5 % Cu — 2 % Mn — 10 % TiC
obtained by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method are presented. It is shown that in comparison
with technical aluminum and matrix alloy, signifi cantly lower indicators of the coeffi cient of friction, wear and heating
temperature characterize composite material, reinforced with nano- and ultrafi ne particles of titanium carbide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
