This review addresses the structure and phase formation mechanisms of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) of single-phase complex carbides Ta-Ti/Zr/Hf-C, as well as the consolidation of synthesized carbides by various sintering methods. Properties of the synthesized and consolidated complex carbides are described, and unique advantages of SHS method for the synthesis of ultra-high temperature complex single-phase carbides are highlighted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
