“…The DTA/DSC based methods are the most widely used for gasless SHS systems, with multiple studies into intermetallics, specifically the Ni/Al [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], Ti/Al [44][45][46], Co/Al [47], Al/Ru [48], Nb/Al [49], and Mg/Al [50] systems, in addition to other binary solid-solid compositions, i.e., the Si/C [51], Mo/Si [52], Zr/B [53], Fe/Se [54]. More complicated ternary systems were also investigated [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. In general, a wide variety of factors can influence the measured kinetics, including variations in reactant microstructure, heating rates, among other factors.…”
