Calculation of the Thermal Parameters of Boron Silicide by Differential Scanning Calorimetry

The DSC, TG, DTA, and DTG analyses of boron silicides, which are widely applied in radiation material science and nuclear technology, have been performed depending on the thermal treatment rate. The kinetic parameters (energy, enthalpy, oxidation reaction rate, heat capacity, and activation energy) of effects occurring in the thermal treatment of boron silicides of 99.5% purity within a temperature range of 25–900°C at a rate of 5–20°C/min have been established. It has been established that the phase transition typical for silicides with its central peak at a temperature 572 ± 5°C can exist in boron silicides depending on the thermal treatment rate. In TG and DTG spectra, this appears as an oxidation thermal effect at T ≥ 660°C with a change increase in mass of nearly 9%.
