Synthesis of ultrafine particles of intermetallic compounds by the vapor-phase magnesium reduction of chloride mixture: Part 1. Titanium aluminides

From: Metallurgical and Materials Transactions | Date: April 1, 1998| Author: | Copyright information

A new chemical synthesis process for the preparation of intermetallic compounds has been developed. It involves the vapor-phase reduction of mixtures of constituent metal chlorides by magnesium vapor to produce intermetallic compounds in the form of fine powder. The advantages of the process include (a) the use of inexpensive raw materials, (b) low reaction temperatures, and (c) products in the form of fine particles. Part I describes the synthesis of titanium aluminide particles by this method, whereas Part II presents the synthesis of nickel aluminides particles. Although nickel aluminides ...
