Abstract TiC-Al composites were prepared from powders of Ti,C and Al by means of thermal explosion technique.The effects of heating rate and aluminium content on the thermal explosion process,phase composition and microstructure of the reaction products have been studied.By differential thermal analysis,X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy,it is shown that the explosive reaction in the Ti-C-Al system proceeds in such a way that aluminium initially reacts with titanium to form Ti-Al compounds with heat evolution,and then the reaction between titanium and carbon,and the decomposition of Ti-Al compounds to titanium and aluminium are subsequently followed.The certain heating rate and aluminium content are needed if the thermal explosion occurs at low temperature in Ti-C-Al system.As mass fration of aluminium was increased over the range of 10% to 50%,the grain size of TiC decreased approximately from 5.0μm to 0.5μm.
