Abstract
Metal matrix composite powders "TiC-Al binder" were synthesized in the wave combustion mode and investigated. Combustion concentration limits of Ti-Al-C powder mixtures were founded. Phase and elemental composition of self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) products, morphology of composite powders and the dependence of the carbide phase size in the structure of the composite on the reaction mixture composition were investigated. The SHS composite powders have a lumpy, predominantly equiaxed shape, favourable for good flowability. The carbide inclusions size in the aluminium matrix decreases monotonically with a content increase of the of thermally inert aluminium binder.
