Abstract
Thermal explosion (ignition) of various Ni-Al samples—such as powder blends, rolled and magnetron sputtered films, compacts of mechanically activated and non-activated mixtures—was explored with special emphasis on the role of mechanical activation. The critical ignition temperature (Tc) was found to diminish from 650°C for starting (non-activated) Ni-Al mixtures down to 280°C for properly activated samples. For the thin films of alternating Ni and Al layers prepared by magnetron sputtering, Tc turned out to be as low as 230°C.
