Combustion Synthesis Reaction

Micro-nanoTiB2 ceramic was prepared through increasing the molar ratio of Mg and leaching with suitable acid by the combustion synthesis reaction of Mg, TiO2 and B2O3, which could get higher temperature and purer product. The Samples were investigated by XRD and SEM, and the results showed the diameter of the TiB2 was 200 nm ~ 300 nm and the shape of the TiB2 was irregular hexagonal crystal. The diameter of the TiB2 was decreased with the increase of Mg powder. The formation mechanism of TiB2 has been studied.

High Temperature Synthesis

An interesting reverse burning phenomenon was observed during the combustion synthesis of zirconium-based materials. When an external heat was applied to one end of a green pellet, the ignition was initiated at the other end. Also, the ignition position, measured from the heated end, was proportional to the apparent green density of the compact. The possible explanations for this reverse burning phenomenon are discussed.

<p>Regularities of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) or combustion synthesis (CS) by using “silicon – sodium azide – ammonium hexafluorosilicate – carbon – aluminum” powder mixture in the nitrogen atmosphere were investigated. The thermodynamic analysis of the combustion synthesis was performed. Experimental investigation of the combustion process: the measurement of linear rates of the combustion front propagation and the maximum combustion temperatures was conducted in a laboratory reactor with working volume 4.5 liters. The influence of the components ratio in the initial mixture on the combustion temperature, combustion rate and composition of reaction product was studied. The phase composition of the product synthesized was determined with an X-ray  diffractometer. It was disclosed that the SHS product consists of the composition (mixture) of silicon carbide nanopowder with silicon nitride whiskers and a final halide. Investigation of surface topography and morphology of the product particles was carried out with a scanning electron microscope. Optimal mixture for the synthesis of nanoscale composition based on silicon carbide was determined: “14Si+6NaN<sub>3</sub>+(NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SiF<sub>6</sub>+15C+Al”. In this case, the SHS product consists of four phases: silicon carbide (β-SiC) – 48.57 wt.%, α-silicon nitride (<em>α</em>-Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) – 27.04 wt.%, β-silicon nitride (β-Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) – 5.83 wt.%, and sodium hexafluoroaluminate (Na<sub>3</sub>AlF<sub>6</sub>) – 18.56 wt.%. The average particle size of the composition was in the range of 70–130 nm. It was shown that the composition of the silicon carbide with silicon nitride and the final halide Na<sub>3</sub>AlF<sub>6</sub> playing a role a flux can be used as a modifier of castable aluminum alloys and as a reinforcing phase of aluminomatrix composites.</p>

Spinel Mgal2o4

The formation of NbB2–MgAl2O4 composites from the MgO-added thermite-based reaction systems was investigated by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). Two thermite mixtures, Nb2O5/B2O3/Al and Nb2O5/Al, were, respectively, adopted in Reactions (1) and (2). The XRD analysis confirmed the combination of Al2O3 with MgO to form MgAl2O4 during the SHS process and that excess boron of 30 atom.% was required to yield NbB2–MgAl2O4 composites with negligible NbB and Nb3B4. The microstructure of the composite reveals that rod-shaped MgAl2O4 crystals are closely interlocked and granular NbB2 are embedded in or scattered over MgAl2O4. With the addition of MgAl2O4, the fracture toughness (KIC) of 4.37–4.82 MPa m1/2 was obtained for the composites. The activation energies Ea = 219.5 ± 16 and 167.9 ± 13 kJ/mol for Reactions (1) and (2) were determined from combustion wave kinetics.

A model was developed to study the process of current-ignited combustion synthesis. In this process, Joule heating raises the temperature to the ignition point, at which the sample reacts to form a product. Two material systems were modeled: the synthesis of SiC and MoSi2. It was found that the mode of combustion is a function of the size (radius) of the sample. The anticipated volume combustion mode was only evident in small samples. At higher values of the radius, the mode becomes wavelike (selfpropagating high-temperature synthesis) in nature. The transition from volume to wave combustion mode also depended on the properties of the material. The results are interpreted in terms of thermal conductivity and heat-transfer conditions.

In Situ Production

Combustion synthesis involving metallothermic reduction of MoO3 by dual reductants, Mg and Al, to enhance the reaction exothermicity was applied for the in situ production of Mo3Si–, Mo5Si3− and MoSi2–MgAl2O4 composites with a broad compositional range. Reduction of MoO3 by Mg and Al is highly exothermic and produces MgO and Al2O3 as precursors of MgAl2O4. Molybdenum silicides are synthesized from the reactions of Si with both reduced and elemental Mo. Experimental evidence indicated that the reaction proceeded as self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) and the increase in silicide content weakened the exothermicity of the overall reaction, and therefore, lowered combustion front temperature and velocity. The XRD analysis indicated that Mo3Si–, Mo5Si3– and MoSi2–MgAl2O4 composites were well produced with only trivial amounts of secondary silicides. Based on SEM and EDS examinations, the morphology of synthesized composites exhibited dense and connecting MgAl2O4 crystals and micro-sized silicide particles, which were distributed over or embedded in the large MgAl2O4 crystals.
