Multilayer coatings on Ti substrate by SHS method

Resumo

Explored was the deposition of multilayer TiC_x–Ti_xSi_y-based coatings onto Ti substrate by SHS method. Sandwich-type green multilayer structures were assembled from Ti foils and Ti + 0.5C, Ti + Si, 5Ti + 3Si, and Ti + 0.65C pellets and ignited under 1 atm of Ar and a load (400 g). Burned sandwiches were characterized by SEM, EDS, and XRD. In all cases, we observed good metal–ceramic joining. Prerequisites for such a joining are (i) the presence of the liquid phase in combustion products, (ii) good metal–ceramic wettability, and (iii) closeness of reaction temperature to the melting point of substrate.
