The reaction characteristics of several exothermic intermetallic reactions were studied experimentally. The boron and carbon mixtures with titanium and zirconium were found to be self-propagating at room temperature but aluminide mixtures and other types of intermetallic reaction mixtures react only at elevated temperatures or must have additives which reduce their thermal conductivities before self-sustaining reactions can be initiated. The reaction mechanism was studied using pyrometry and metallography. It was shown that the adiabatic reaction temperature must exceed the melting point of the alloy in order to insure a self-propagating reaction, and that the ignition temperature may be below the melting point of either constituent. Linear reactions rates and thermal transport properties of the reaction mixtures are reported. Exothermic intermetallic reactions constitute a special type of gasless reaction which, owing to their comparative chemical inertness, may find application in pyrotechnic and ordnance devices.
