Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis of N-Containing Material Based on Aluminum and Vanadium Nitrides for Producing Titanium Primary Alloys

Abstract

Nitriding of a V–Al–N alloy during combustion in an industrial reactor was investigated. The optimum nitriding conditions were determined. Phases formed by nitriding of VnAl-65 alloy during combustion were characterized. Self-propagating high-temperature nitriding technology was developed. Test batches of nitrided V–Al–N alloy were prepared.
