Combustion of a high-calorific thermite mixture on the surface of a titanium base

The combustion and chemical transformation of highly exothermic MoO$_3$/NiO/Al/C and MoO$_3$/NiO/Al/B mixtures on the surface of a titanium base under the effect of centrifugal acceleration are studied. It is shown that chemical reactions occur not only in the combustion wave, but also on the surface of the titanium base, between the combustion products and the base material (titanium). The dynamics and mechanism of formation of layered (gradient) titanium-ceramics materials (Mo–Ni–C–Ti or Mo–Ni–B–Ti) is investigated.
