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.

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.

Currently, metal–matrix composite materials are some of the most promising types of materials, and they combine the advantages of a metal matrix and reinforcing particles/fibres. Within the framework of this article, the high-temperature synthesis of metal–matrix composite materials based on the (Ni-Ti)-TiB2 system was studied. The selected approaches make it possible to obtain composite materials of various compositions without contamination and with a high degree of energy efficiency during production processes. Combustion processes in the samples of a 63.5 wt.% NiB + 36.5 wt.% Ti mixture and the phase composition and structure of the synthesis products were researched. It has been established that the synthesis process in the samples proceeds via the spin combustion mechanism. It has been shown that self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) powder particles have a composite structure and consist of a Ni-Ti matrix and TiB2 reinforcement inclusions that are uniformly distributed inside it. The inclusion size lies in the range between 0.1 and 4 µm, and the average particle size is 0.57 µm. The obtained metal-matrix composite materials can be used in additive manufacturing technologies as ligatures for heat-resistant alloys, as well as for the synthesis of composites using traditional methods of powder metallurgy.

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 in-situself propagating high temperature synthesis technique were used to synthesis tungsten based intermetallic alloys from WO3/SiO2/Al and WO3/B2O3/Al reactant mixture system. The reaction was carries 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 composition of the reacting species. The microstructure and phase distribution of the SHS reaction products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), respectively. The results indicate that complete reaction of precursors to yield Al2O3-WSi2 and Al2O3-WB as product composites with clearly separation between Al2O3 and WB.

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.

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.

The Fe-Based Al2O3-TiC Ceramic Composite was fabricated by combining the methods of Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis with casting. The microstructures of ceramic layer and interface were characterized via SEM, EDS and X-ray diffraction. The Results show that the microstructure of ceramic layer is dense, and the in-situ Al2O3 and TiC particles with size of 1-2 μm are distributed on the ferrite matrix. The hardness of compact ceramic layer reaches 48HRC, and it has graded distribution from ceramic layer to the ferrite matrix. The composite interface between ceramic and matrix is compact, and takes on flexuous. The composite material bonds in a metallographic manner, with high bonding strength.
