Abstract:
Explored was thermal explosion in mechanoactivated 3Ni + Al mixtures. Mechanoactivation was found to result in an abnormal
decrease in the effective activation energy E and ignition temperature Tign for thermal explosion. Analysis of reaction thermogram allowed us to find out the kinetic function. Mechanoactivation conditions
for synthesis of Ni3Al in thermal explosion mode have been optimized. SHS reaction in 3Ni + Al mixtures mechanoactivated for 180 s was found to
obey the first-order kinetics.
