Over the years, the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) has become an interesting research field to prepare a large numbers of advanced materials. Recently, the demands for high temperature advanced ceramics have further intensified the research on SHS for efficient material preparation. Several reviews, large numbers of papers and patents on various aspects of material production by SHS are available in literature. These are scattered and it is desirable to have a comprehensive review of the literatures that not only helps the researchers but also guide the beginners in this area. In this paper, we have emphasized our contributions on synthesis of various advanced high temperature ceramics, the borides, carbides, oxides and their composites by SHS processes. Several advantages and disadvantages of the SHS technique for advanced high temperature (HT) materials are highlighted. The preparation of nano-sized powders and finegrained in-situ high temperature ceramic composites through SHS is specially mentioned.

Self-propagating, high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is one method of material production in which elemental constituents are ignited, initiating a self-sustaining, exothermic reaction that results in their transformation into intermetallic and ceramic compounds. In addition, several reactions can be initiated within a single body to form intermetallic-intermetallic, intermetallic-ceramic, or ceramic-ceramic composites in situ. The driving force for the reactions is the negative heats of mixing of the forming compounds, which results in the liberation of heat. The obvious advantages of SHS processing are that it presents an opportunity to produce near net-shape advanced materials and composites with a high level of purity in a relatively low-cost and energy efficient manner.At the U.S. Bureau of Mines, we are actively involved in the SHS processing of a wide range of singlephase intermetallic and intermetallic-matrix composites: TiAl, TiAl+TiB2, TiAl+TiC, TiAl+Ti5Si3, MoSi2+SiC. One key element of our study is a thorough understanding of the effect of processing variables, such as composition, temperature, pressure, time, powder morphology, etc., on the microstructure, and hence the properties, of these materials.

The formation of the microstructure of ZrB2-B4C ceramic composites produced by SHS pressing has been studied. It has been shown that the exothermic interaction in a mixture of Zr, B, and C powders gives an equilibrium SHS product containing ZrB2 as a dispersed phase and B4C – as a ceramic binder. The effect of the ceramic binder (B4C) content on the formation of the microstructure of SHS composites has been studied. It is shown, at content of B4C 10-20 wt% homogeneous SHS composites were formed consisting monolithic the ZrB2 particles with a size of 10-12 pm, and at content of B4C 20-40 wt% – hollow shells consisting of the ZrB2 particles.

In situ formation of intermetallic/ceramic composites composed of molybdenum silicides (Mo5Si3 and Mo3Si) and magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) was conducted by combustion synthesis with reducing stages in the mode of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The SHS process combined intermetallic combustion between Mo and Si with metallothermic reduction of MoO3 by Al in the presence of MgO. Experimental evidence showed that combustion velocity and temperature decreased with increasing molar content of Mo5Si3 and Mo3Si, and therefore, the flammability limit determined for the reaction at Mo5Si3 or Mo3Si/MgAl2O4 = 2.0. Based upon combustion wave kinetics, the activation energies, Ea = 68.8 and 63.8 kJ/mol, were deduced for the solid-state SHS reactions producing Mo5Si3– and Mo3Si–MgAl2O4 composites, respectively. Phase conversion was almost complete after combustion, with the exception of trivial unreacted Mo existing in both composites and a minor amount of Mo3Si in the Mo5Si3–MgAl2O4 composite. Both composites display a dense morphology formed by connecting MgAl2O4 crystals, within which micro-sized molybdenum silicide grains were embedded. For equimolar Mo5Si3– and Mo3Si–MgAl2O4 composites, the hardness and fracture toughness are 14.6 GPa and 6.28 MPa m1/2, and 13.9 GPa and 5.98 MPa m1/2, respectively.

One-stage technology of obtaining aluminum-ceramic skeleton composites by combining the processes of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) of the porous skeleton and its infiltration under pressure with molten aluminum (method SHS-pressing) was considered. Experimental study of the effect of the pressure of infiltration on the distribution of the content of aluminum over the height and radius of the disk-shaped sample with SHS skeleton made of a cermet of TiC-Ni was performed. Mechanisms of the formation of structure and properties of the composite depending on the infiltration pressure were described.
