Synthesis of Ultra-Dispersed Spherical Composite Materials

Abstract

This paper describes a method of laser synthesis of titanium microspheres, titanium carbide and silicon oxide. The formation of microspheres is carried out under the action of femtosecond laser radiation on the surface of the sample. The analysis was carried out on a scanning electron microscope. The obtained titanium and titanium carbide microspheres have an average size of the main fraction of 1-3 μm and can be used in applications of additive technologies and powder metallurgy as the main raw material or as an alloying additive. The main fraction of silicon oxide granules lies in the range of 50-300 nm. To improve the efficiency of the particle output, a combined method of laser action and electric current is proposed.
