Development and application of a complex model of titanium diboride plasmosynthesis

Abstract

An integrated multifactor mathematical model of plasmosynthesis of titanium diboride was developed. The model includes 3 submodels: “Plasma generation”, “Evaporation of raw materials”, “Boride formation”. The model provides the implementation of multivariate research and engineering calculations of plasma processing technological indicators of various types of titanium-containing raw materials, industrial products and waste. The convergence of the predicted and practical results for various types of raw materials is 10.4-12.9%. In all cases, lower values of practical data are noted in comparison with the calculated ones, which is due to the influence of non-isothermal heat carrier gas.
