Effect of Cu addition and heat treatment on the self-propagating high temperature synthesis reaction have been investigated. The results show that Cu reacts with Al to form Al2Cu phase. With the addition of Cu, the combustion temperature of the system decreases and the porosity of the products is reduced, the size of TiC particulate decreases in the SHS reaction products. Specially, when heat treatment is carried out for the sintering products at 800 ?C, the rigid framework (sintering neck) between TiC particles was formed.

Dense nanocrystalline Y2O3 ceramics without grain growth have been successfully obtained by a new method, which is based on the self-propagating high temperature synthesis and quick pressing. A suitable self-propagating system with a maximum combustion temperature of 1350 °C and a heating rate of 1300 °C/min was chosen as a chemical furnace to supply the heat to densify nanocrystalline Y2O3. Dense samples without grain growth were obtained when the applied pressure was 120 MPa.

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.

The effect of Al content on the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction among Al , TiO 2 and B 2 O 3 was experimentally investigated. The Al content plays an important role in controlling the reaction behaviors. With the increase in reactant Al , the maximum combustion temperature decreases, the propagating wave velocity first increases and then decreases, while the ignition delay time shows an opposite tendency. More importantly, the increase of the Al content in the reactants has an insignificant effect on the phase constitutions of the synthesized products but reduces the size of the synthesized TiB 2 particles.

The self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) of Al–Zr–N system composite ceramics was investigated in this paper. The melting point of Al was low (Tm = 660 °C), while that of Zr was high (Tm =1855 °C). Therefore, Al will melt and coalesce during reaction, which inhibit diffusion of nitrogen from outside the metal compact to interior due to collapse of the pore openings, while Zr will not melt under the combustion temperature which is lower than its melting point. It will not affect the permeation of nitrogen under the conditions. Accordingly, the ratio of Al and Zr in the initial mixed powders will affect the permeation of nitrogen from outside the sample to the interior, which results in different phase formation of the products. In this study, the relationship between the combustion parameters and the phase formation of the products will be experimentally determined through XRD analysis, and then thermodynamically analyzed.

Lightweight B4C/Al composites were produced from powders of boron carbide and aluminum by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The effects of postdensification heat treatment at different temperatures and environmental conditions on phase transformations and properties evolution were studied. Heat treatment processing that followed the synthesis was applied using low heating rate in temperature range from 400°C up to 1500°C. An interconnected multiphase (B4C, Al3BC, and c-BN) microstructure was produced in composite as a result of heat treatment at temperatures below 1080°C. The formation of hard and brittle reaction products (AlN, AlB2, Al4C3, and Al8B4C7) at temperatures above 1150°C causes decrease in bending strength and increase in resistance to unlubricated sliding wear.

The effects of BN / Ti molar ratio on the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction behaviors and final products in the Ti - BN system were experimentally investigated. With an increase in the BN / Ti ratio, the combustion temperature and wave velocity first increase and then decrease with the maximum values displaying at BN / Ti =0.67. A substoichiometric TiN 1- x was obtained for BN / Ti <0.67, and a stoichiometric one was produced for BN / Ti =0.67. Moreover, the microstructure photographs of the products reveal that with the increase of the BN / Ti ratio, the grains of the ceramic phases tend to be finer.
