In this work, based on the analysis of literature data, the main physicochemical stages that can be expected under the conditions of reaction sintering of the Ti-Al-Fe2O3system are established. Particular physical models of phase formation are analyzed under various temperature conditions, which can take place in local volumes of a heterogeneous mixture. As a reactive diffusion model example, a variant of the model for the interaction of titanium particles with an aluminum melt is presented.
