Abstract: The direct 3D method of numerical simulation of gasless combustion of mechanically activated solid powder mixtures is developed. The method under consideration falls into three stages. On the first stage, a simulation of mixture structure is performed. An analysis of the structure obtained in simulations is carried out. On the second stage, the thermal conductivity of solid powder mixture is calculated. On the third stage of simulation, the ignition and combustion of each particle of the mixture is considered with taking into account of heat exchange between contacting particles. The results of numerical simulations are represented dynamically and compared with the experimental data, obtained by high-speed digital recording of mechanically activated SHS systems combustion.

Abstract: Experiments on combustion synthesis for the Ti-2B and Ti-C systems diluted with an inert metal are presented. The paper shows the influence of geometry, composition, density and particle size of diluent on the combustion front velocity. A Ti-2B reactant mixture diluted with Al and Cu and a Ti-C reactant mixture diluted with Al are studied. The metallic diluent and its concentration are varied. Besides, each experiment is based on a stack of cylinders with decreasing diameter in order to vary the heat losses. In some experiments the eventual quenching of the combustion reaction has been observed. Furthermore these experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations based on analytical expressions derived for such systems.
