Abstract
We explored the ignition of Ti + C → TiC reaction with another highly exothermic thermite reaction, Fe2O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2O3, used as a match. In order to decrease the combustion temperature and thus to avoid explosion mode, we studied the effect of alumina diluent on the thermite reaction. In order to ensure the stability of front propagation, we also tested the reactions involving enriched and non-enriched iron ores. The evolution of phase composition, grain size, and density of products during SHS reaction was determined by XRD and IR filming.
