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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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%.

Time-resolved x-ray diffraction (TRXRD) was performed during Ti5Si3 synthesis by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis mode for different Ti size fractions. It was determined that the time for product formation (ca. 15 s) was independent of Ti particle size. However, the formation of Ti5Si4 phase occurred when relatively large titanium particles were used. A simultaneous measurement of the temperature and TRXRD allowed us to attribute the shifting of XRD peaks at high temperature to thermal expansion of the Ti5Si3 product. The thermal expansion coefficients differ for different crystal planes, and their numerical values compare well with those reported previously in the literature.

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.
