The Interaction Pathway in the Mechano-Ultrasonically Assisted and Carbon-Nanotubes Augmented Nickel–Aluminum System

The influence of mechano-ultrasonic activation (MUA) and nano-additives (carbon nanotubes-CNT) on the interaction pathway nickel–aluminum powder mixture at high heating rates was investigated. optimum conditions activation, along with phase structure formation peculiarities nickel–aluminum–carbon nanotubes mixtures by thermal analysis method, so-called high-speed temperature scanner (HSTS), were found out. duration mechanical ultrasonic aiming to achieve homogeneous distribution in agitated determined. A shift characteristic temperatures MUA both rate ultrasound Ni + Al for mechano-activated (1, 3, 5 min) 1 wt% CNT containing observed. patterns NiAl Ni3Al or pure manifested according mechanism (depending solid–liquid solid–solid state intermediates). effective energy values exothermic reactions all studied systems determined isoconversional method Kissinger.
