Alumina-Tungsten Carbide (Al2O3-WC) composites were synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) from a powder mixture of WO3-C-Al. The reaction was carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at a pressure of 0.5 MPa. The standard Gibbs energy minimization method was used to calculate the equilibrium composition of the reacting species. The effects of carbon mole ratio in precursor mixture and diluents of NaCl and Al2O3 on the Al2O3-WC conversion were investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope technique. The as-synthesized products of Al2O3-WC2-WC powders were concurrently formed and the reduction of W2C phase was found when added diluents in precursors.

Intermetallic alloy of tungsten silicide (WSi2-W5Si3) was synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) from the reactant of tungsten oxide (WO3) and silicon lump (Si) using magnesium (Mg) as fuel. The standard Gibbs energy minimization method was used to calculate the equilibrium composition of the possible reacting species. The as-SHS products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The magnesiothermic reaction process successfully synthesized dense of WSi2-W5Si3intermetallic alloy. According to the experimental results, it can be proposed that the reaction also promotes the phase separation between alloy and oxide slag of the product.

The Fe3Al-TiB2-Al2O3 composite has been prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) from FeTiO3-B2O3-Al system. The standard Gibbs energy minimization method was used to calculate the equilibrium compositions of the reacting species. The reactions were carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at the pressure of 0.5 MPa. The effects of Al molar ratio of 4, 4.33 and 5 mole on the results product were investigated. The composition and microstructure of SHS products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The optimum result of Fe3Al intermetallics phase was obtained when using 4.33 mole of Al.

ZrB2-ZrC composite powders were synthesized from zircon sand by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The reactions were verified and the feasibility of obtaining the predicted products was calculated from the adiabatic temperature (Tad) and the equilibrium composition using the HSC®chemistry program. The results show that the SHS products consisted of ZrB2, ZrC, ZrO2, ZrSiO4, MgO, and Mg2SiO4. Leaching the products with 0.5 M of HCl solution eliminated the by-product of MgO and the intermediate Mg2SiO4phases. The phase composition of the products was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the morphologies were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX).

The composite materials have been synthesized in situ by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) from natural precursors. The studied natural resources are ilmenite, kaolin, sand and rice husk ash. The reactions were carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at the pressure of 0.5 MPa. The standard Gibbs energy minimization method was used to calculate the equilibrium compositions of the reacting species. The composites results have been characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), image analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the production of composite materials using SHS process is feasible and agree well with the thermodynamics calculations.

The work is devoted to the technology for the reduction of molybdenum from oxides by the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis in the MoO3 AI system with the addition of aluminum. The experiment was carried out in two modes: in a reactor at different pressures without preliminary heating and in a furnace in air until the initiation of the SH-synthesis process. Samples of molybdenum metal were obtained in different synthesis modes. X-ray phase and X-ray spectral analysis showed that molybdenum is the main phase in the synthesized samples. The presence of slag oxide phases Al2O3 and MoO2 was detected.

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).

Steel pipe lined Fe-Al intermetallic-TiB2-Al2O3composite were prepared by centrifugal-self-propagating high temperature synthesis (centrifugal-SHS) process from FeTiO3, B2O3, Fe2O3, Al and CaF2as raw materials. The standard Gibbs energy minimization method was used to calculate the equilibrium compositions of the reacting species. The effect of adding CaF2to the precursors on the result product were investigated. The phase separation between less porosity Fe-Al intermetallics-TiB2with Al2O3layer were affected greatly by adding CaF2. The phase compositions and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) couple with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), respectively.

The Eu2+ doped barium aluminate (BaAl2O4:Eu2+) and strontium aluminate (SrAl2O4:Eu2+) with high brightness were synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) method. The influence of doping rare earth ions (Eu2+) on the luminescence of MAl2O4:Eu2+ were described in this study. The reactions were carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at a pressure of 0.5 MPa. The morphologies and the phase structures of the products have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope technique (SEM). The emission spectra of the products have been measured by an Ocean optics spectrometer at room temperature. Broad band UV excited luminescence was observed for BaAl2O4:Eu2+ and SrAl2O4:Eu2+ in the green region peak at λmax = 501 nm and 523 nm, respectively. The optimum Eu2+ doping ratio were 10.5 mol% and 6 mol% for BaAl2O4:Eu2+ and SrAl2O4:Eu2+, respectively
