Burning velocities in catalytically assisted self-propagating high-temperature combustion synthesis systems

Burning Velocities in Catalytically Assisted Self-Propagating High-Temperature Combustion Synthesis Systems

The current work presents an experimental study of catalytically assisted self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) of the tantalum/carbon material system. The effects of controlled amounts of two gas-phase transport agents (carbon dioxide and vaporized iodine) were examined. The gas-phase transport agents resulted in burning velocities 2 to 4 times faster than burning velocities observ...

Self-propagating Combustion Synthesis via an Msr

9 The synthesis of (Ti1-xZrx)B2-Al2O3, (Ti1-xHfx)B2-Al2O3 and (Zr1-xHfx)B2-Al2O3 10 (x=0, 0.5 and 1) powder nanocomposites via a mechanochemical method using TiO2, ZrO2, 11 HfO2, HBO2 and Al as the raw materials was investigated. The formation of the 12 nanocomposites proceeds via a mechanically-induced self-sustaining reaction (MSR) process 13 that involves several simultaneous reactions. The ...

Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis for compound thermoelectrics and new criterion for combustion processing

The existing methods of synthesis of thermoelectric (TE) materials remain constrained to multi-step processes that are time and energy intensive. Here we demonstrate that essentially all compound thermoelectrics can be synthesized in a single-phase form at a minimal cost and on the timescale of seconds using a combustion process called self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. We illustrate ...

The self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of sinterable powders

Synthesis of Al2O3-ZrO2 Nanocomposite by Mechanical Activated Self-propagating High Temperature Synthesis(MASHS) and Ignited via Laser

By consideration of unique properties of composite Al2O3-ZrO2 such as high toughness, high wear resistant and relative low thermal expansion, in this study, nanocomposite of Al2O3-ZrO2 was produced by Mechanical activated Self propagating High-temperature Synthesis (MASHS) using laser beam for ignition. First Al and ZrO2 powders were mixed in the mole ratio of 1:1 and milled for 1, 3 and 6 hour...
