Phase compositions of coatings applied to titanium targets by means of shaped-charge jets

Coatings containing titanium carbides of the cubic and hexagonal modifications were applied to titanium targets by a shaped-charge explosion. In the experiments, a conical liner with a cone angle of 30$^\circ$ made from a mixture of fine powders of boron and ammonium nitrate were used. A quantitative X-ray phase analysis of various segments of the coating was performed. The values of the unit cell parameters indicate the formation of complex phases. In some regions of the target, the microhardness reaches 3800 kg/mm$^2$.
