Experiments on combustion synthesis for the Ti-2B and Ti-C systems diluted with an inert metal are presented. The paper shows the influence of geometry, composition, density and particle size of diluent on the combustion front velocity. A Ti-2B reactant mixture diluted with Al and Cu and a Ti-C reactant mixture diluted with Al are studied. The metallic diluent and its concentration are varied. Besides, each experiment is based on a stack of cylinders with decreasing diameter in order to vary the heat losses. In some experiments the eventual quenching of the combustion reaction has been observed. Furthermore these experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations based on analytical expressions derived for such systems.
