Abstract
Composite materials based on Nb with functional (Si, C, B) and alloying dopants (Hf, Ti, Al, etc.) are promising materials for aircraft engine applications. Our previous studies have shown that such composites can be synthesized in the autowave mode (combustion mode) using highly exothermic mixtures of Nb2O5 with Al, Si, Hf, and Ti. It has been found that in the combustion wave, Hf actively participates in the reduction of Nb2O5, which complicates its introduction into the composite material and leads to an excess of Al in the alloy. In the present study, we investigated the possibility of replacing Hf in the starting mixture by less active HfAl3 and also determined the effect of the grain size of HfAl3 on the Hf content in the composite material.
