Centrifugal effects on combustion synthesis of (Ti-B-C) compound system
A centrifugal force plays an important role on the control of combustion synthesis. In the present work, the data of reaction propagation rates obtained by changing the direction of reaction propagation and centrifugal force are evaluated in order to make clear the effect of centrifugal force on reaction propagations and product formation. As a result, the reaction propagation rate in the case of the direction of centrifugal force inverse to reaction propagation is larger than that in the case of the same direction, and product grains become smaller in size. It is confirmed that the centrifugal effect is much larger for the present combustion synthesis process in the case that the reaction propagates inversely to the direction of centrifugal force. Since molten titanium near combustion front tends to coalesce into larger drops in that case, reactants of boron and carbon would diffuse more sufficiently into titanium.
