Abstract
Phase compositions of nanopowders prepared by electrical explosion of tungsten, titanium and aluminium wires in liquid hydrocarbons (C 6H6, C6H14, C6H 5CH3, and C10H22), multicomponent reactionary surroundings such as hexametilenetetramine-decane suspension, and solid paraffin were investigated. It has been established that the output of carbon-saturated carbide phases increases with increasing density and dynamic viscosity of the working medium as well as consumed energy, and depends on elemental composition of hydrocarbons (C/H ratio in hydrocarbon molecules). The content of the carbide phases depends on the values of the upper warm-up border of chemical compounds stability.
