Ni/TiC composites have been produced using laser induced self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The chemical composition and microstructure were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The sintered density and mechanical properties such as bending strength and micro-hardness were also measured. The results showed that the synthesized products were consisted of TiC and Ni phases, which indicated that the TiC was synthesized by the in-situ reaction. Moreover, the results revealed that the sintered density increased and the micro-hardness and bending strength of the synthesized products gradually decreased with the increasing of Ni contents.

<p>Microstructure and properties of Cu<sub>1-x</sub>Zn<sub>1-y</sub>Al<sub>1-z</sub> ranging through (0.29 &lt;X&lt; 0.30; 0.74 &lt;Y&lt; 0.75; and 0.83 &lt;Z&lt; 0.96) alloys obtained by the Self- propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) were examined. The microstructural and mechanical properties were examined, respectively by X-ray diffraction, tensile tests and Brinell hardness. The obtained results showed that the modification of composition lead to the formation of new phases. Therefore, this microstructure affects strongly the mechanical properties of the selected samples. In this study, we will also highlight the SHS technology and prove that it can alternate the conventional methods regarding the development of a Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs).</p><p> </p>

The fabrication of intermetallic/ceramic composites by combustion synthesis in the mode of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) was investigated in the Al–Ni–Ti system with the addition of B4C. Two reaction systems were employed: one was used to produce the composites of xNiAl–2TiB2–TiC with x = 2–7, and the other was used to synthesize yNi3Al–2TiB2–TiC with y = 2–7. The reaction mechanism of the Al–Ni–Ti system was strongly influenced by the presence of B4C. The reaction of B4C with Ti was highly exothermic, so the reaction temperature and combustion velocity decreased due to increasing levels of Ni and Al in the reactant mixture. The activation energies of Ea = 110.6 and 172.1 kJ/mol were obtained for the fabrication of NiAl- and Ni3Al-based composites, respectively, by the SHS reaction. The XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis showed an in situ formation of intermetallic (NiAl and Ni3Al) and ceramic phases (TiB2 and TiC) and confirmed no reactions taking place between Ti and Al or Ni. The microstructure of the product revealed large NiAl and Ni3Al grains and small TiB2 and TiC particles. With the addition of TiB2 and TiC, the hardness of NiAl and Ni3Al was considerably increased and the toughness was also improved.

Silicon-silicon carbide (Si-SiC) composite powders were synthesized by in-situ self- propagating high-temperature synthesis using rice husk ash (RHA)/carbon/Mg as precursors in argon atmosphere. The as-SHS powders were leached by two leaching steps. The microstructure and chemical composition of the obtained Si-SiC composite powders were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and x-ray diffractometer (XRD), respectively.

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).

The effects of in-situ TiB2 particle fabricated from Al-Ti-B system via the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction technology on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-Sn-Zn-Al alloy were investigated. The results indicate that the size of the Mg2Sn and α-Mg+Mg32(Al,Zn)49 phase becomes coarser with the increasing content of Al-Ti-B preform, meanwhile the amount of eutectic α-Mg+Mg32(Al,Zn)49 phase increases too. The addition of Al-Ti-B is favorable toward promoting the strength of composites, but deteriorates elongation. The resulting as-extruded composite material with 4 wt.% Al-Ti-B preform exhibits good overall mechanical properties with an ultimate tensile strength of 291 MPa and an elongation over 2 %.

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).

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%.
