Abstract
The composite coating of a titanium carbide aluminide–alumina-iron composite was synthesized by centrifugal-assisted self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The in situ TiC–Al2O3–Fe with intermetallic phases of titanium aluminide (TiAl/Ti3Al) possesses excellent metallurgical properties. This composite was produced from compacted titanium (Ti) and carbon (C) powders in the form of pellets embedded in a tube, which were exposed to very high temperature generated by the thermite Fe2O3 and Al reaction. The process took place in a graphite–steel tube mounted in a centrifugal accelerator machine purposely developed for this function. Functionally graded coating was produced under the centrifugal acceleration field and the product of the thermite reaction (Al2O3 and Fe) infiltrated the TiC pellet and to create a strong, titanium aluminide intermetallic layer. The centrifugal force significantly enhanced both metallurgical alloying and mechanical interlocking between different sample layers during product formation. The purpose of the research addresses the applications of local reinforcement of the ceramic-lined tubes.
