Thermodynamic analysis and reaction kinetic for the preparation of aerospace-grade AlV85 master alloy
The Gibbs free energy,adiabatic temperature and calorific value of A1V85 master alloy prepared by alu-minothermal method were calculated according to the thermodynamie prineiples,the process was studied using dif-ferential thermal analysis,the kinetic equations of A1V85 alloy produced by the aluminothermal method with differ-ent sizes of Al powder were constructed.The reaction of A1V85 master alloy by the aluminothermal method can be carried out and maintained spontaneously,with adiabatic temperature of 2 327 K and calorific value of 4 169 J/mol.Al powder is melted first and reacts with solid V2O5 to replace V and produce part of AlmVn,then part of V and AlmVn react to form V solid solution at about 1 000 K.The particle size of aluminum powder has a great influence on the reaction process and reaction products;The kinetic equations of A1V85 master alloy preparation with differ-ent particle sizes aluminum powder is constructed,the smaller the particle size,the lower the activation energy and the higher the frequency factor.
