“…Such data on the mechanical behavior of highstrength titanium alloys under high-rate loading are very important from practical point of view because these materials are widely used in products operating under extreme conditions of load, namely -from the structural components of aerospace vehicles [11] to emerging component of military equipment [12,13].…”

This article focuses on the characterization of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reactions that occur in powder compacts containing titanium, boron, and aluminum. Interest in this powder system is based on the critical need to develop new joining techniques for bonding ceramics to metals. The exothermic reactions of particular interest in this study include those that generate TiB 2 , TiB, Ti 3 Al, and TiAl from their elemental powders. Data from differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffractometry are presented. These results demonstrate that the gas phase surrounding the SHS powders plays an important role in initiating the SHS reaction and in determining which reaction products will form in the final bond.

“…In a May 1997 article in JOM, Montgomery et al 3 convincingly described the U.S. Army's need for lighter weight armor for battle tanks. Although titanium would save weight without giving up strength, conventional titanium is deemed too costly for this application.…”
