In this study, silica obtained from the rice husk was used to synthesis of Al2O3/SiC nanoparticles. For this reason, the ash obtained from the burning of the rice husk which contains more than 93 wt. % silica, aluminum and carbon powders with the molar ratios of 3:4:6 were mixed and then compacted into pellets by using a cylindrical die under a pressure 50MPa. In order to conduct the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), the produced pellets were placed in an electrical furnace at 850°C under the argon gas atmosphere. Then, a planetary ball milling for 4 to 24h was used to decrease the particle size of the synthesized composite. The results of XRF, XRD, SEM and DLS investigations shown that the rice husk ash can be used to fabricate Al2O3/SiC nanoparticles with an average particle size of about 80 to 65nm via SHS process and ball-milling for 12 to 24h.

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.

The ultra-fine TiB2-Ti(C, N) composite powders were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) with Ti, BN and C powders as its starting materials. The morphology of the products was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed the composite powders were consisted of the mainly phases Ti(C, N), TiB2 and a small amount of TiN phase. With the Ni addition, the brittle phase Ni3B was appeared. SEM results revealed that the composite powders had a uniform particle size, a round grain-shaped structure and a narrow size distribution and the average particle size of which is less than 1μm.

TiC- and TiB2-FeAl composites have been produced using the Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) method under Pseudo Hot Isostatic Pressing (PHIP). When mixtures of the elemental powders were heated to a temperature near the melting point of Al under a PHIP of 150 MPa, the powder mixtures exothermically reacted and produced TiC particle dispersed and TiBB2 particle dispersed FeAl-matrix composites. As the volume factions of TiC and TiB2 particles increased from 0.3 to 0.8, the average particle size increased from approximately 1 to 10 μm and the average Vickers hardness increased from approximately 600 to 1600 in both the TiC-FeAl and TiB2-FeAl systems. The application of the PHIP remarkably reduced the porosity of the SHS products. Preheating of the elemental powder mixtures at 773 K for 30 minutes also reduced the porosity. Moreover, the preheating reduced the particle size in the SHS products. It was suggested that degassing of the powder surfaces and mutual diffusion between the different powders should have occurred during the preheating, which led to reduction in pore formation and reduction in heat generation at the SHS reactions, respectively.

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.

Copper and molybdenum sulfide nanopowders were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis in argon. The initial copper powder and molybdenum powder were produced by electric spark dispersion in hexane and by electrical explosion of wires (EEW) in argon, respectively. The powders were studied by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The copper sulfide main phase is hexagonal 2H-CuS, whereas hexagonal 2H-MoS2 and rhombohedral 3R-MoS2 are characteristic for molybdenum disulfide. The lattice parameters of copper and molybdenum sulfides were calculated. The average particle size of copper sulfide and molybdenum disulfide powders was about 50 nm and 80 nm, respectively.

This paper researched the fabrication of perovskite synrock by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) and the characterization of the products. This synthesis process is simpler, the fabricated synrock can immobilize waste loading up to 35wt% SrO with satisfied physical properties (density>4.2g•cm-3, open porosity<0.2%, Leach rate<1.0 g•m-2•d-1). The structure analyses by XRD and SEM/EDS show that the major phase is perovskite which well agrees with the design. It proves that SHS offer a suitable Sr-waste synroc which is favorable for geological disposal.

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.
