The combustion process of a titanium–carbon system with sodium chloride as an inert diluent was investigated. The combustion laws and microstructure of final products according to diluent content were obtained. It was shown that sodium chloride not only decreases combustion temperature but also makes effective protective shells around primary carbide crystals and keeps this ultrafine structure up to the end of combustion. As a result, nano-sized titanium carbide powders were successfully obtained.

The combustion process of Mg-TiO2 system was preliminarily investigated from three aspects of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics and the technological parameters. The result indicates that the adiabatic temperature of Mg-TiO2 system is between 2060K and 2140K because the major existent modalities of TiO2 is the rutile and anatase, this meets the empirical criterion that the SHS reaction will be self-sustaining; The solid-solid reaction occurs at about 767K; Ti powders can be produced only when the ratio between Mg and TiO2 arrives at 2.9:1; The higher the vacuum, the more complete the reaction; The combustion temperature arrives at its peak when the pressure of green compact arrives at 250MPa; the velocity of the combustion wave increases with the augmentation of the pressure of green compact. So the proper control of the technological parameters can change the reaction temperature, reaction rate and the components of reaction products.

Titinium carbide (TiCx) was produced by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) method. The morphology and non-stoichiometric number of the SHS product were observed by scanning electron microscopy and neutron diffractometry, respectively. Tubular titanium carbide with hole inside was formed with different non-stoichiometric number (x), which value increased with combustion temperature.

In this work, a ternary system prepared by Ni-Al-Ti mixed powder was synthesized using self-propagation high-temperature synthesis (SHS) process. The weight of the reactant was varied using 3%, 10%, 20% and 30% of the Ti content. The mixtures were compressed in a steel die to form compacted pellets, and subsequently ignited using an external heat source to initiate the combustion process. The synthesized products were characterized using SEM, EDS, and XRD, whereas the mechanical property of the product was measured using a Vickers microhardness test. The identification of the formed phase indicates that Ni-Al, Ti-Al and Ti-Ni systems were formed during the reaction. An increase of Ti content from 3% to 10% improves the density of the synthesized product. Further increase of Ti content to 20% results in the generation of cracks. The addition of Ti with 30% leads to the formation of a porous product. The heat released by the SHS process due to the formation of several intermetallic phases was responsible for the formation of defect products. The highest hardness of the product was achieved in the product prepared by 20% Ti content. However, the higher Ti content than 20% results in hardness reduction. This work shows that the content of 10% of Ti produced a dense and hard product.

Titanium carbide foams are synthesized by a self-propagation high-temperature synthesis technique using carbon black, which generates gases during the synthesis. The synthesis is performed under terrestrial and microgravity conditions. The effects of gravity on the synthesis are evaluated in this study. The foaming is mainly caused by H2O and CO gases from the carbon black. The elongation of the products increases with decreasing environmental pressure and increasing amount of generated gases. Since the gas flows out along the direction of the combustion wave propagation, the products expand only along this direction. The propagation velocity of the combustion wave increases with increasing amount of generated gases and environmental pressure, which is due to the amount of molten Ti transporting into the reaction/preheat zone. Under higher environmental pressures, thermal convection of the environmental gases mainly affects the propagation velocity. However, at lower pressures, the behavior of the molten Ti has a great effect compared with the gases surrounding the specimens.
