Interaction of Components of the TiH2–Mn–Si–Fe–C Powder Mixture during Thermal Synthesis of the Multicomponent Master Alloys

Abstract

The interaction of powder components in the titanium hydride-ferromanganese silicon system is investigated. It is demonstrated that titanium actively reacts with ferromanganese silicon during heating, which is accompanied by the dissociation of the latter and formation of a complex multiphase system, where the main phases are titanium silicide Ti₅Si₃ and titanium carbide TiC. It was noted, that additional carbon in the charge composition results in fine alloy structure.
