Combustion wave stability in diluted TiO2/Al/C system in atmospheric air

An assessment of the process of Self-propagating High-Temperature Synthesis for the fabrication of porous copper composite

“…The change in the green density of the precursor has two opposing effects on the SHS reaction [19,21]. The increase in the green density of the precursor increases the surface contact areas established between the particles, and hence makes the SHS reaction easier.…”

“…It was also noted that raising the adiabatic temperature would facilitate the SHS reaction. However, only a few stable SHS systems that operate with a T ad of less than 1800 K have been reported in the literature [19]. For fabricating the Cu-Al 2 O 3 composite, the SHS process works on a principle, which is based on the occurrence of the following thermite reaction [20]: This reaction emits an enormous amount of heat, and the theoretical adiabatic temperature (T ad ) of the system immediately increases to a value of about 5000 K [7].…”

Effect of carbon on mechanically induced self-sustaining reactions (MSR) in TiO2–Al–C mixtures

“…To inhibit the formation of Al 3 Ti, boron or carbon can be added into the system to produce TiB 2 or TiC [13]. The incorporation of carbon into the Al-TiO 2 system and production of TiC/Al 2 O 3 composite has been studied by many researchers [13][14][15][16][17].…”

Air-exposed combustion synthesis of Al2O3 nanofibers in Al/TiO2/C system

“…In this work the widely used TiC/Al 2 O 3 composite was produced [28][29][30][31][32][33]. Regardless of the results discussed in the previous work, this article concentrates on the morphological aspects of the products [34]. …”
