Preparation of AlB12 Powder by Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis (SHS)

Abstract

<p>Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) process is used to prepare AlB<sub>12</sub>. The phase analysis results of preparing AlB<sub>12</sub> with Al and B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> as raw materials show that: under air and argon conditions, the self-propagating and acid-washed self-propagating powders all have α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> impurities; Mg, Al and B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> are used as raw materials. The phase analysis results of the preparation of AlB<sub>12</sub> show that under argon conditions, the self-propagating and acid-washed self-propagating powder has unremovable MgAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> impurities; the root cause of the low purity of AlB<sub>12</sub> prepared by the self-propagating method is that there are unremovable impurities exist.</p>

Research on Thermal Neutron Shielding Performance of TiB2-Al Composite Materials

“…This kind of material has excellent electrical properties and has been highly valued as an inert electrode material and high temperature electrical material (6)(7)(8)(9). The lack of toughness of ceramics is still an urgent problem that needs to be solved (10,11). One approach is the addition of metal that can improve its toughness and greatly increase its application range (12)(13)(14).…”

Analysis on Electrolytic Behavior of Aluminium Dodecaboride/Alumina (AlB12/Al2O3) Composite Ceramic Powder

“…AlB12 has very strong corrosion resistance, and only hot nitric acid can dissolve it. The high temperature resistance of AlB12 makes it possible to be used in military equipment such as rocket nozzles (7,30).…”

“…In previous studies, it was found that AlB12 can be prepared by self-propagating reaction, but the accompanying existence of Al2O3 cannot be avoided and removed at all (7,29,30). Selfpropagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), also known as combustion synthesis, uses the heat released by the combustion reaction of the original chemical reaction raw materials to make the chemical reaction process spontaneously and continuously, to obtain a new type of material synthesis method with a specified composition and structure product.…”

Calculating Vacuum Metal Infiltration Rate and Depth of BN-Al Composite Materials

“…Its great weakness, however, is its brittleness. Under stress, cracks can occur, and worse, fractures can lead to material failure (15)(16)(17)(18). The use of high-strength, high-purity metal and matrix composites is an effective method of improving ceramic insulation and reliability (18)(19)(20).…”

“…Ceramic-metal composite material, also known as cermet, is a new type of material that can enhance transportation capacity and energy conversion (21)(22)(23). Cermet combines the main advantages of ceramics and metals, including the high temperature stability of ceramics, and the workability and ductility of metals (24)(25)(26)(27).…”
