Simulation of thermal explosion of a pre-activated $3\mathrm{Ni}+\mathrm{Al}$ mixture

The mathematical model of thermal explosion and synthesis of products in a mechanically activated $3\mathrm{Ni}+\mathrm{Al}$ mixture is simulated in a macroscopic approximation. It is shown that activation of original components significantly increases the formation rate of a $\mathrm{Ni}_3\mathrm{Al}$ intermetallide. The experimental data are used to determine the thermophysical and kinetic constants of the process.
