Combustion Behaviors

Effects of Fe incorporation into Al–Ti–B4C reactants on the combustion behaviors, reaction mechanism, synthesized products, and possible natural convection of fluids were investigated. The incorporation of Fe significantly promotes the self-propagating reaction and decreases the reaction dependence on the B4C particle size. The prior reaction of Fe with B4C leads to the decomposition of B4C and formation of Fe2B and free carbon. On the other hand, the reaction of Fe with Ti and Al gives rise to the emergence of Fe–Ti and Fe–Ti–Al eutectic liquids. As a result, the diffusivity and reactivity of the dissociated carbon and boron atoms are greatly facilitated and the reaction is substantially promoted, yielding a desirable product of TiC, TiB2, and FeAl phases. Moreover, the incorporation of Fe may enhance free convection of the molten phase in the reaction zone and thus contribute to the combustion synthesis process.

High Temperature Synthesis

The SHS reaction in the Ni–Ti–B4C system starts with the formation of Ni–Ti and Ni–B intermetallic compounds from the solid interacted reaction among the reactants and, subsequently, the formation of Ni–Ti and Ni–B liquid at the eutectic point. Meanwhile, some C atoms from the reaction between Ni and B4C can dissolve into Ni–Ti liquid to form TiC. The heat generated from these reactions can promote the mutual diffusion of Ni–Ti–C and Ni–B liquid and simultaneously accelerate the formation of Ni–Ti–C–B liquid. Finally the precipitation of TiC and TiB2 occur when the C and B atoms in the liquid become supersaturated. The addition of Ni not only promotes the occurrence of the self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction by forming Ni–Ti liquid, but also accelerates the SHS reaction by forming Ni–B liquid and dissociative C. The early appearance of dissociative C from the reaction between Ni and B4C causes the formation of TiC prior to that of TiB2.

High Temperature Synthesis

In this study, silica obtained from the rice husk was used to synthesis of Al2O3/SiC nanoparticles. For this reason, the ash obtained from the burning of the rice husk which contains more than 93 wt. % silica, aluminum and carbon powders with the molar ratios of 3:4:6 were mixed and then compacted into pellets by using a cylindrical die under a pressure 50MPa. In order to conduct the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), the produced pellets were placed in an electrical furnace at 850°C under the argon gas atmosphere. Then, a planetary ball milling for 4 to 24h was used to decrease the particle size of the synthesized composite. The results of XRF, XRD, SEM and DLS investigations shown that the rice husk ash can be used to fabricate Al2O3/SiC nanoparticles with an average particle size of about 80 to 65nm via SHS process and ball-milling for 12 to 24h.
