Alumina($Al_2O_3$)-Titanium Diboride($TiB_2) particulate composites were fabricated by hot pressing of the powder mixture that was prepared from Self-propagating High Temperature Synthesis (SHS) product and commercial powders. Their propeties were examined in order to find feasibility of using SHS for making the high performance ceramic composite. $TiB_2 particles obtained by grinding the SHS product were finer than the commercial powders. Hot pressed sample containing the SHS products exhibited higher strength than the one prepared from the commercial powders.

The aluminum nitride was synthesized by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis(SHS). The synthe-sis was used aluminum powder mixed with AlN powder as reactant and the control factors affected to synthesis were considered compact density pressure of reaction gas AlN diluent content and aluminum powder size. The SHS reaction conducted with a reactant containing 50% AlN diluent under 0.8MPa nitrogen gas pressure yielded a complete conversion of aluminum powder to AlN powders. The size and purity of AlN produced were found to be comparable with that of AlN produced by the carbothermal nitrogen method.

Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis of Ti+N system has been investigated using the cylindrical high pressure reactor. The nitrogen pressure was varied from 40 to 80 atmosphere and TiNx(x=0.55) powder produced by SHS process was used as a diluent in order to control the reaction. Both the velocity of surface reaction and the ratio of TiN synthesis increased with increasing the nitrogen pressure. As the amount of diluent increases the degree of conversion to titanium nitride increases. Homogenious TiN powder was obtained in the composition 50Ti+50TiN0.94(diluent)

The peculiarities of using Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) and solid state phase synthesis for production of high temperature superconductor materials are discussed. Oxide superconductors with general formula $ReBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{7-x}$ (Re= Y, Yb, Sm, Nd) have been made with using barium oxide initial powder instead of traditional barium carbonate. X-ray powder diffraction showed a single phase orthorhombic perovskite structure was produced in all reactions. Phenomena observed during the grinding of the reactant mixture are presented. Mechano-chemical activation - as a pretreatment of the reactant mixture - strongly influences the kinetic parameters, the reaction mechanism, and the composition and structure of the final product.

Due to their unique properties, tungsten borides are good candidates for the industrial applications where certain features such as high hardness, chemical inertness, resistance to high temperatures, thermal shock and corrosion. In this study, conditions were investigated for producing tungsten boride powder from tungsten oxide($WO_3$) by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) followed by HCl leaching techniques. In the first stage of the study, the exothermicity of the $WO_3$-Mg reaction was investigated by computer simulation. Based on the simulation experimental study was conducted and the SHS products consisting of borides and other compounds were obtained starting with different initial molar ratios of $WO_3$, Mg and $B_2O_3$. It was found that $WO_3$, Mg and $B_2O_3$ reaction system produced high combustion temperature and radical reaction so that diffusion between W and B was not properly occurred. Addition of NaCl and replacement of $B_2O_3$ with B successfully solved the diffusion problem. From the optimum condition tungsten boride($W_2B$ and WB) powders which has 0.1~0.9 um particle size were synthesized.

Ultra-fine $\beta$-SiC powders were fabricated by self-propagating high temperature synthesis process (SHS) using chemical furnace. The dependences of the C powders with different surface areas, the molar ratios of C/Si, the weight ratios of chemical fuel content, and pellet diameter-size on synthesis were investigated. Compositional and structural characterization of these powders was carried out by scanning electron micrograph and X-ray diffraction. The $\beta$-SiC powders which had C/Si mole ratio=1.05, 3 times chemical fuel contents, and pellet diameter=20 mm were optimum for synthesis efficiency. By optimizing process-variables, it is possible to fabricate $\beta$-SiC powders which have little secondary phases ($\alpha$-SiC).

Molybdenum-based thermal spray powder is widely used for coating the moving parts of the internal combustion engines due to its excellent wear resistance. A composite powder of the $Mo_{40}(Al_{1-x}Si_x)_{60}$ system was synthesized using the SHS method. The synthesized bulk was pulverized and specially treated to produce thermal spray powder. It was found that the synthesis reaction consisted of two-steps: the formation of $Al_8/Mo_3$ and the formation of Mo(Al,Si)$_2$. Both the temperature and the rate of the SHS reaction linearly increased with the increase of the value of x in $Mo_{40}(Al_{1-x}Si_x)_{60}$, The temperature and the rate of the reaction were also affected by the compacting density of the specimens, exhibiting the maximum valves at 62% and 60%, respectively. Since spherical shape is advantageous to the thermal spraying process, shape-control of the powder was attempted with PVA as a binding additive, resulting in the successful production of almost perfectly spherical powder of 80 $\mu\textrm{m}$ Ø$(d_{50})$ mean particle size.

The combustion characteristics of the disilicides molybdenum system have been studied experimentally. The pertinent reaction parameters that control self-propagating high temperature synthesis reactions have been examined. These include reactant particle size, powder mixing and compaction, reaction stoichiometry, diluents. The influence of experimental variables on integrity, uniformity, structure, and related material properties will be discussed. Formation mechanism of $MoSi_2$ during SHS might be different and depending on experimental conditions.

The Ti-aluminide intermetallic compound was formed from high purity elemental Ti and Al foils by self-propagating, high-temperature synthesis(SHS) in hot press. formation of $TiAl_3$ at the interface between Ti and Al foils was controlled by temperature, pressure, heating rate, and so on. According to the thermal analysis, it is known in this study that the heating rate is the most important factor to form the intermetallic compound by this SHS reaction. The V layer addition between Al and Ti foils increased SHS reaction temperatures. The fully dense, well-boned inter-metallic composite($TiA1/Ti_3$Al) sheets of 700 m thickness were formed by heat treatment at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours after the SHS reaction of alternatively layered 10 Ti and 9 Al foils with the V coating layer. The phases and microstructures of intermetallic composite sheets were confirmed by EPMA and XRD.
