During ball milling of a powder mixture of elemental titanium and graphite, TiC is synthesised by a combustion reaction. The factors controlling the reaction kinetics have been investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and differential thermal analysis. In the incubation period before a combustion reaction, the carbon atoms diffuse along the grain boundaries of Ti, resulting in the mixing of the reactants on a nanometre scale. A transitional bonded state (Ti … C) is formed, reducing the ignition temperature for a combustion reaction. In addition, a minimum adiabatic temperature of 1800 K is necessary for the occurrence of combustion during the mechanosynthesis process.
