Abstract

Differential thermal analysis (DTA) was undertaken to determine the reaction mechanism in the Fe–Ti–B4C system under argon. When the mixtures were heated to about 786 °C, Fe2B and C appeared as a result of Fe reacting with B4C. As the temperature continued to increase, FeTi formed by an interdiffusion between Fe and Ti. When the mixtures were heated to 1089 °C, FeTi reacted with Ti, leading to the formation of a Fe–Ti melt, into which the displaced C and B from B4C dissolve, forming a Fe–Ti–C–B melt. Finally, when the concentration of C and B attained a certain value, Ti reacted with C and B, yielding TiC and TiB2 in the melt, and simultaneously considerable heat released.
