Influence of Nitrogen Pressure and TiN Addition on Combustion Synthesis of Ti₂AlN Powders

Abstract:

It has a relatively rapid reaction with self-propagating combustion method to synthesize Ti-Al-N powder. This can effectively avoid uneven phenomenon of aluminum melting reunion during the reaction of raw materials. So you can use lower-cost aluminum as raw materials. In addition, the combustion synthesis method also has a simple process and low-cost advantage. Thus this method has the potential to become the optimum process method to prepare Ti2AlN and Ti4AlN3. In this paper, Ti, Al elemental powders and N2 were used as raw materials. The powder of Ti2AlN was successfully prepared for the first time by combustion synthesis method. This substance is a nitrogen compound of single-phase and three yuan. The results from the XRD diffraction analysis and SEM show that synthetic product is high purity Ti2AlN with a small sample to combustion synthesis when the pressure of nitrogen is in 5 MPa, but the content of synthesis products Ti2AlN is small when the sample is magnified, and the TiN and AlN has a higher content. It can burn synthetic Ti2AlN to control the nitrogen pressure and add the amount of TiN, and the pressure of N2 is better 2 MPa, and the amount of TiN added is better 30 wt.%.
