Reaction Pathway of Combustion Synthesis of Ti5Si3 in Cu–Ti–Si System

The reaction pathway of combustion synthesis (CS) of Ti5Si3 in Cu–Ti–Si system was explored through a delicate microstructure and phase analysis on the resultant products during differential thermal analysis (DTA). The formation of Cu–Si eutectic liquids plays a key role in the reaction pathway, which provides easy route for reactant transfer and accelerates the occurrence of complete reaction. Cu initially reacted with Si to form Cu3Si by a solid-state diffusion reaction, which further reacted with Cu to form Cu–Si liquids at the eutectic point of ~802°C; then Ti was dissolved into the surrounding Cu–Si liquids and led to the formation of Cu–Ti–Si ternary liquids; finally, Ti5Si3 was precipitated out of the saturated liquids by a solution–reaction–precipitation mechanism. The reaction pathway in CS of titanium silicide (Ti5Si3) could be described briefly as: Cu(s) + Ti(s) + Si(s)→Cu3Si(s) + Ti(s) + Si(s)→(Cu–Si)(l) + Ti(s)→(Cu–Ti–Si)(l)→Cu(l) + Ti5Si3(s).
