Abstract: This work is focused on preparation of Nb-doped Ti–Al material (Ti–29.3Al–17.6Nb wt %) by centrifugal SHS. Results of studying of combustion and synthesis regularities of intermetallic material on γ-TiAl base from oxide materials under high gravity are presented in the article. For the first time is used a reduction mixture on Al/Ca base which markedly increases the yield of Ti–Al–Nb and decreases the amount of non-metallic impurities (oxygen, nitrogen, carbon) in target product.

Abstract: The review of the results obtained by the authors in synthesis of cast composite materials by the methods of SHS metallurgy is made. The main attention is paid to synthesis of heat-resistant materials based on intermetallic compounds of nickel and titanium and niobium silicides as well as tungsten-free hard alloys based on titanium and chromium carbides. The parameters allowing one to govern the process, material structure and composition were determined. Practical application was specified.

Abstract: Highly caloric mixtures of metal oxides with reducing agents used in SHS metallurgy can burn at combustion temperatures well above the melting point of final products, which ensures formation of cast products. The data of basic research in the field allowed us to suggest methods for manufacturing new cast nickel aluminides based alloy.
