Abstract

The method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), combined with pressing, for the first time obtained a metal-intermetallic material based on gorenje products of the layered system (Ti – Al – Mg)/Ti. Exothermic synthesis from elementary powders was carried out at a pressure of 10 MPa, and pressing of the hot synthesis product at a pressure of 250 MPa. The paper demonstrates that as a result of SHS-pressing, an integral connection of the “intermetallic/metal” layers is formed. The main features of microstructure formation, phase composition and strength properties of transition zones at the boundary between reacting SHS compositions Ti – Al – Mg and Ti-substrate are investigated. The thickness of the transition zone between the layers was at least 15 µm. The results of energy dispersion analysis (EDA) showed that magnesium Mg in the synthesized alloy is mainly in the intergranular layers, in the form of a small amount of Ti – Al – Mg compound, which indicates incomplete reaction diffusion between Ti – Al and Al – Mg layers. The microhardness of Ti – Al grains in the synthesized alloy has an average value of 5820 MPa, and the matrix based on Al – Mg is 3980 MPa. The hydrostatic density is 3.3 g/cm3, with a porosity of less than 13 %. As a result, the method of SHS-pressing turned out to reduce the porosity of the resulting Ti – Al – Mg-based alloy by 3 times.
