Sintering of Combustion-Synthesized Titanium Carbide

Effect of NaCl on the synthesis of TiB2 powder by a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis technique

“…The SHS has several advantages that include less processing times, low processing temperatures, simple operation and generation of fine microstructures due to high cooling rates [7,8]. In the SHS process, volatilization of impurities in the reactant powder takes place; this improves the purity of the product [9].…”

Effect of ternary additions of iron on microstructure and microhardness of the intermetallic NiAl in reactive sintering

“…The combustion synthesis in the solid-state interdiffusion initiates by first the formation of a transient liquid phase, typically a eutectic Al-Al 3 Ni, and can proceed at temperatures lower than that of the eutectic [2]. Furthermore, the high temperatures (adiabatic temperature of Ni aluminides are about 1911 K) vaporize the contaminants and the final products are normally of high purity [4]. On the contrary, the conventional techniques to produce advanced materials and intermetallics are both energy and time costly because of the high temperature furnace and long processing times (hours or days).…”

“…The aim of this work is to test the possibility to reduce the brittleness of the NiAlFe at room temperature by of reduction of the grain size and to modify the solid solubility limits of the ordered phase with Fe macroalloying addition [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] to the stoichiometric NiAl powders by the high combustion synthesis rate.…”
