Synthesis of superhard nanodispersed titanium compounds in a magnetoplasma accelerator operating in pulse-periodic regime

It is demonstrated that a system based on a coaxial magnetoplasma accelerator with multiple use of the titanium barrel for a consumable provides a dynamic synthesis of nanodispersed titanium-based crystal phases such as cubic titanium nitride (cTiN) and TiO 2 . The efficiency of material yield from the surface of the accelerating channel of the titanium barrel increases for cyclic regime of accelerator operation with dead time smaller than 1.0 s.
