ABSTRACT

In this work, we studied the joint aluminothermic reduction of zirconium and niobium oxides. Thermodynamic modeling of metal-thermal reactions, differential thermal (DTA) and X-ray phase (XRF) analyzes were used in the work. The research can serve as a scientific basis for the development of promising metal-thermal technologies for the production of rare-metal alloys.
