Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis of Titanium Carbosilicide and Electrically Conductive Composite Coatings on its Basis

Titanium carbosilicide is obtained by the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis with titanium and ferrosilicon (with silicon content of 80 mass %) used as initial products. Addition of TiSi2 to the endproduct with the subsequent heat treatment allows the content of titanium silicide to be increased. The materials based on titanium carbosilicide provide electroconductivity of polymer composite coatings at temperatures exceeding 350°С.
