Combustion of thermite mixtures based on mechanically alloyed aluminum–iodine material

XANES of Mechanically Alloyed Y-Fe System

We have measured X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANFS) of mechanically alloyed YzFe and YFez system as a fundion of milling time. An amorphous phase is obtained by mechanical alloying for 100 hours in the YzFe system and for 500 hours in the YFez system. In both systems the intensity of Fe Is-4pn transition grows up significantly with increasing the milling time and approaches to that of...

Computational Modeling of Combustion Wave in Nanoscale Thermite Reaction

Nanoscale thermites such as the composite mixture of nano-sized aluminum and molybdenum trioxide powders possess several technical advantages such as much higher reaction rate and shorter ignition delay, when compared to the conventional energetic formulations made of micron-sized metal and oxidizer particles. In this study, the self-propagation of combustion wave in compacted pellets of nanosc...

Sintering Properties of Mechanically Alloyed Ti-5Al-2.5Fe

In this study, Ti-5Al-2.5Fe alloy was prepared by powder metallurgy. The elemental titanium, aluminum, and iron powders were mechanically alloyed for 10 h in a vacuum atmosphere. A stainless steel jar and stainless steel balls were used for mechanical alloying. The alloyed powders were then sintered by vacuum hot pressing at 950 °C for a soaking time of 30 minutes. Pure titanium was also sinter...
