| Description | In this study, we successfully obtained $Al-TiB_{2}$ composite materials using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and preliminary mechanical activation of the initial Al-(Ti + 2B) powder mixture with a high aluminum content (70 wt.%). We investigated the possibility of controlling the structure of synthesis products, in particular, the size and shape of ceramic particles. We examined the effects of the mechanical activation of the initial powder mixture on the structure and particle size of titanium diboride in the synthesis products. We proposed a mechanism of structure formation in the synthesis products obtained by SHS using the method of preliminary mechanical activation of the initial mixture. We found that mechanical activation for 60-180 s led to the formation of isolated $TiB_{2}$ particles of prolate and irregular shape. The average particle size of $TiB_{2}$ in the synthesis products was 0.77 (after 60 s of mechanical activation) and 1.5 µm (after 180 s of mechanical activation), respectively. An increase in the duration of mechanical activation to 900 s led to the formation of an island (skeletal) structure, in which there were interconnected aggregates and isolated particles of titanium diboride. The average size of these particles was 4.3 µm. |
