| Description: | Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis is an attractive advanced technology for the synthesis of a wide variety of advanced materials, including powders and near net-shape products formed from ceramics, intermetallics, composites and functionally graded materials, by exploiting the heat-energy released by the exothermic reaction of raw materials via a self-sustaining combustion wave which propagates from one end of the specimen to the other. When compared with traditional technologies, remarkable savings in energy, time and equipment, and novel forms of equilibrium and non-equilibrium phases and high-purity products can result from using SHS. The present volume concentrates on four topics: Progress in the theory of SHS; SHS composite materials; SHS gas-solid systems; Industrialization in SHS. Particular emphasis is placed on practical applications of the basic principles involved in SHS. |
