Abstract

An experimental study is performed of the two-stage mechanochemical synthesis of niobium silicide. Theoretical estimates are made on the basis of the resulting macrokinetic model. The initial Nb + 2Si mixture is mechanically activated in the first stage, and the NbSi2 product is synthesized in the second. The effect the period of mechanical treatment has on the activated mixture’s morphology, temperature, and rate of burning is studied, along with the phase composition of the final reaction product. Kinetic constants are calculated that describe the dynamics of the two-stage mechanochemical synthesis of niobium silicide.
