Abstract

This work examines the microstructure and elemental composition of the air combustion products of Fe2O3/TiO2/Al and Fe2O3/TiO2/Al/C thermite mixtures. These systems are shown to differ markedly in the composition and morphology of inclusions and the mechanism of their formation. The metallic phase of the combustion products is shown to contain nanometer-sized titanium nitride inclusions. A mechanism is proposed for the crystallization and oxidation of the combustion products.
