Abstract
The paper presents the results of research into how the binder content and the Shockwave compression parameters affect SiC and Ti powder mixture densification in explosive compaction. The microstructure of the resulting compacted metal was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Phase and chemical composition was studied by X-ray crystallography and energy-dispersive analysis. It was found that at higher silicon carbide concentrations and higher powder heating temperatures, Shockwave compression reduced the residual porosity of the compacted metal to 2%. The microstructure was a carbide-silicon matrix with titanium inclusions. The obtained material matched the initial components in phase composition.
