Conclusions-1 2121 The technique for creation the monodisperse burning Ti particles with size of hundred microns has been developed to investigate the Ti combustion mechanism For the first time the evolution of particles of titanium with size of 300, 390 and 480 microns formed by merging a great number of small particles has been examined Qualitative features of that size particles behavior are identical
22
Formation of a spherical particle occurs due to heterogeneous reaction and at an initial stage is accompanied by a bright luminescence Motion of a burning particle can be described with use of drag coefficient exceeding classical Stokes’ coefficient (C d 50/Re for 480-micron particles) Prominent feature of the Ti particle evolution is fragmentation which in this specific case is performed with preservation of a mother particle (projection of splinters reminds a fir-tree branch). During fragmentation, there is an appreciable loss of weight and decrease in speed of a particle After the combustion termination as a result of full metal consumption the residual particle consists of various oxides – from TiO to TiO 5 ; its diameter is by 1.5-2 times less than initial one 2 Conclusions-2
