Abstract
The combustion syntheses of all the intermetallic compounds in the Zr-Al binary system have been investigated. Analyses of the reaction products show that for compositions of the reacting mixture richer than 60 at.% in Al the products always contain a mixture of ZrAl4, ZrAl2 and Zr2Al4, in different proportions. Zr-rich samples always produce a mixture of Zr5Al3, Zr3Al2, ZrAl2 and Zr2Al3. DTA investigations have shown that the exothermic process responsible for the front propagation is represented, for all starting compositions, by the reaction of molten aluminum with solid zirconium to form ZrAl3. When fine powdered reactants are used, solid-state interaction also contributes to the reaction ignition.
