In this work, a series of samples of Mo (Si1-xAlx)2 (X =0, 0.10,0.20,0.30,0.40) were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The influence of the addition of Al on the structures and the micrographs of the final compounds were investigated. X-ray diffraction pattern characterization (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the obtained products. It was found that, the reactions between Mo and Si could be promoted with introducing Al during the SHS process. The high temperature β-MoSi2 phase with hexagonal structure (C40) was obtained and the peaks of the C40 phase shifted towards a higher d value with increasing aluminum substitution. The substitution of Al could reach to 40%. The morphology of the final products was similar with that of the raw Mo powders, which was independent of Al contents.

The Si-SiC nanocomposites have been synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) from natural precursors. The effects of difference amount of added NaCl from 0 to 0.75 moles to the reactants on the Si-SiC conversion and particle size were investigated. The reaction were carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at the pressure of 0.5 MPa. The nanocomposite results have been characterized by scanning electron microscope, Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the production of nano-composite materials using SHS process is feasible and agree well with the thermodynamics calculations.

The steel substrate was coated by Fe-based composite using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction of reactant coating paste. The green paste was prepared by mixing precursor powders of Al, Fe2O3and Al2O3. It was coated on the steel substrate before igniting by oxy-acetylene flame. The effect of coating paste thickness and the additives on the resulted Fe-based composite coating was studied. The composite coating was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) couple with dispersive X-ray (EDS).

This work was aimed at studying the tribological properties of nanolamellar tungsten and molybdenum disulfides produced from nanosized W and Mo nanopowders by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The prepared WS2and MoS2powders were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). For tribological tests, oil-based lubricants added with nanolamellar tungsten and molybdenum disulfides were prepared. The tribological tests show that the friction coefficient of the nanolamellar powders is lower than that of commercial powder(μmin=0.024and 0.064, resp.). It is also found that the oil-based lubricants with nanolamellar disulfide additives display higher antifriction and antiwear properties compared to commercial powder.

Fe-W based composite have successfully been prepared using natural resource. The ferberite (Fe (Mn, Sn)WO4) tailings mixed with aluminum, carbon and boron oxide powder were used as reactants. The reactants were pressed and followed by oxy-acetylene flame ignition. The products from the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) couple with dispersive X-ray (EDS).

Diamond tool based on Ni-Al self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) was introduced in this paper. Different heating methods such as muffle furnace, vacuum furnace and induction were used to ignite the Ni-Al-diamond SHS system. The morphology and microstructure of the Ni-Al-diamond composite were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that SHS Ni-Al-diamond composite ignited by induction heating owned the best morphology and microstructure to work as diamond tool.

AbstractEffect of different Sn contents on combustion synthesis of Ti2SnC was studied using elemental Ti, Sn, C and TiC powders as raw materials in the Ti-Sn-C and Ti-Sn-C-TiC system, in which the molar ratio of Ti/C was set as 2:1. The reaction mechanism for the formation of Ti2SnC was also investigated. The results showed that the amount of Ti2SnC in combustion products firstly increased with increasing of Sn content (0.6 to 0.8 mol), and then decreased with further increasing of Sn content (1.0 to 1.2 mol). Upon addition of 15 % TiC instead of Ti and C, the optimum addition of Sn decreased to 0.7 mol and a higher purity of Ti2SnC was obtained. The Ti2SnC powders were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

A porous titania (TiO2) coating with vermiform slots was prepared on the Ti substrate through micro-arc oxidation (MAO) treatment using sodium tetraborate as electrolyte. Morphologies and phase structure were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Results show that the rutile phase increases and anatase decreases gradually with increasing MAO time. The electrolyte of sodium tetraborate has significant influence on the formation of vermiform coatings, which determine the corrosive patterning in the first stage during MAO processing. The evolution of vermiform morphology is proposed as followed: some corrosive pores appear on the surface before arcing; afterward, the adjacent micropores in the dense regions link each other due to the high temperature result from continuous arc action; then, the micropores grow up to big pits and combine with each other with increasing MAO treating time; finally, the vermiform morphology forms on the surface of Ti metal.

Biomorphic TiO2 was prepared by high temperature pyrolysis and a modified sol-gel route. The morphology and microstructure of TiO2 samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The phase composition of the resulting sample was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The results suggest that the biomorphic TiO2 mainly consists of rutile TiO2, and replicates the shape and part microstructure of the carbon template.

Cu-Mo-Si alloys with different Cu contents were prepared by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The microstructure and the worn surface morphology were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) together with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. Phase composition was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The wear behavior of the Cu-Mo-Si alloys was characterized by pin-on-disc wear tester. The results showed that most of Si atoms dissolved in Cu matrix or resulted in formation of compound with Cu, while only small amount of Si atoms reacted with Mo atoms to form Mo5Si3 particles in the Cu-Ni-Si alloys with 80% Cu content. The wear rate of Cu-Mo-Si alloys descended with a decrease of Cu content, and the predominant wear mechanism could be identified as abrasive wear for Cu content less than 90% and plastic deformation for Cu content higher than 90%.
