TL;DR: In this paper, the transition from reagent interaction involving a liquid phase in ordinary SHS powder mixtures to solid-state combustion after preliminary activation of these mixtures in an energy-intensive planetary mill was studied for Ni + 13 wt. % Al and Ni + 45 wt % Ti compositions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of mechanical activation conditions in a planetary ball mill on the main parameters of SHS processes and combustion product composition was studied for Ni + 13 wt. % Al and Ni + 45 wt % Ti compositions.

TL;DR: In this article, a new method was developed for obtaining powder nanocomposites consisting of a metallic or intermetallic matrix and ceramic nanometer particles as a reinforcing phase, which involves the following consecutive processes: short-time mechanical activation of the mixture of powder reagents in a high-energy planetary ball mill, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, and additional mechanical activation for the synthesis products.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of preliminary mechanical activation of low-calorific-value powdered formulations in a planetary ball mill on the main parameters of the subsequent thermal explosion has been studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the features of macrokinetics of phase formation during the solid-state synthesis in the mechanically milled 3Ni+Al mixtures were presented, and it was found that with milling time, the activation energy decreases down to anomalously low values, which is related to structural changes in the powder mixtures.
