The article describes the development of a model for controlling self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The model is based on computation and theoretical analysis of temperature field dynamics for a propagating combustion wave. The work proves the applicability of this model for the synthesis of boron-containing materials implemented at nuclear power plants. The discrepancy of the model amounts to 20 - 25%, and the satisfactory agreement between the calculation and experimental data testifies the validity of the numerical method and allows calculating any two-component SHS systems.

The mechanical activation of the base mixture of TiO2-B was researched in terms of the structural changes leading to the formation of a mixture of micro particles whose volume increases with the increase of the power intensity of the mechanical activation of the furnace charge and it also increases the surface contact area of the components of the mixture participating in the synthesis. The limit of the mechanical activation of the researched system is 120g.

It has been calculated that the introduction of nickel-aluminum additives leads to an increase in the heat effect and allows for the development of materials with the desired phase composition. A comparative analysis of the results of design and instrumentation experiments has shown a satisfactory agreement which allows us to speak about the correctness of the developed numerical model as well as the possibility of selecting optimal initial values ​​of the heat energy source as a factor which allows for controlling the reaction of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and eventually the phase composition of the final product.
