Influence of humidity on the combustion of powdered and granulated Ti + 0.5C mixtures

The combustion of both powdered and granulated Ti + 0.5C mixtures at various moisture contents in an initial mix as in argon flow (coflow filtration) and without gas flow has been ascertained. The combustion velocity of ‘wet’ Ti + 0.5C powder in an argon flow under 1 atm pressure difference decreases almost by one half in comparison to ‘dry’ mixture, while for granulated mixtures the moisture influence on combustion velocity and phase structure of the final products is insignificant.
