Conclusions
A study was made of the kinetics of the reaction of Ti-Mo alloys with boron. It is shown that the intensity of the reaction depends on the composition of the alloys. The rate of the reaction, which is a minimum at Mo contents of 10 and 20 at.%, is determined by the diffusion of atoms of the reacting components. Titanium alloys containing 10 or 20 at.% Mo may prove to be suitable for operation at high temperatures in boron-containing media.
