Ti-B system ceramics were prepared by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method from the mixture of metal titanium and boron powders The major crystalline phase as a function of boron content was TiB for mixtures containing 0.5 or 1.0mol B, and TiB2 for these containing over 1.3mol B. The combustion mode observed by a high-speed camera was steady-state. The Combustion velocity increased with increasing the boron content. Sintered TiB2 specimen showed the density of 97% of theoretical valve, Vicker's hardness of 2250kg/㎟ for 0.2kg load and three-point-flexure strength of 500MPa.

The combination of mechano-chemical activation (MCA)and Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) has widened the technical possibilities for both methods. For YBCO systems the investigation showed that a short-term MCA of initial powders before SHS leads to single-phase and ultra-fine products. A new technique for preparation ultra-fine high-temperature superconductors (HTS) of YBCO composition with a grain size d <1m is developed using combination of MCA and SHS. The specific feature of the technique is formation of the $YBa_2Cu_3O_7-$ crystalline lattice directly from an X-ray amorphous state arising as a result of mechanical activation of the original oxide mixture. The technique allows the stage of formation of any intermediate reaction products to be ruled out. X-ray and magnetic studies of ultra-fine high temperature superconductors are carried out. Dimension effects associated with the microstructure peculiarities are revealed. A considerable enhancement of inter-grain critical currents is found to take place in the ultra-fine samples.

In this study the formation mechanism of AlN synthesized by SHS(Self-propagating high-temperature Syn-thesis) was studied in order to obtain uniform AlN powder size and morphology. Based on the morphology of AlN synthesized and the calculation of the temperature of Al powder as a function AlN layer thickness the formation mechanism of AlN was proposed.

Fabrication of various carbide fibers from carbon fibers and elementary powders of Ti, Zr, Nb, Zi, W, B, and Mo by self-propagating high temperature synthesis was attempted. It was found the almost pure phase of TiC, ZrC, NbC, SiC, $B_4$C, and $Mo_2$C carbides were successfully produced. The three types of morphologies were ob-served, TiC, ZrC, NbC, and $B_4$C had a hollow-type fibrous shape. SiC had fiber shape consisting of smaller particles and fine whiskers. WC and $Mo_2$C had non-fibrous shapes. The reason for the different morphologies was explained. The formation mechanism of hollow fibers was suggested.

Intermetallic Ti-Si system ceramics were synthesized from stochiometric mixtures of titanium and silicone powders in vacuum by Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis(SHS). In each cases of Ti5Si3, Ti5Si4 and TiSi, and TiSi2 synthesis, 20wt% product dilution, direct ignition and SHS chemical furnace method were employed. The combustion modes, which were observed during the synthesis process by using the high speed camera, of Ti5Si3, Ti5Si4, TiSi, and TiSi2 exhibit spin, osciallatory, steady-state, and spin combustion, respectively. With increasing Ti/Si molar ratio an decrease of combustion velocities was found. From the results on the measurement of the flexural strength, the specimen hot pressed at 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min using synthesized Ti5Si4 powders showed the highest flexural strength at 215 MPa.

Fabrication process of metal/intermetallic laminated composites by using self-propagating high temperature synthesis(SHS) reactions between Ni and Al elemental metal foils have been investigated. Al foils were sandwiched between Ni foils and heated in a vacuum hot press to the melting point of aluminium. SHS reaction kinetics was thermodynamically analyzed through the final volume fraction of the unreacted Al related with the initial thickness ratio of Ni:Al and diffusion bonding stage before SHS reaction. Thermal aging of laminated composites resulted in the formation of functionally gradient series of intermetallic phases. Microstructure showed that the main phases of intermetallics were NiAl and $Ni_3Al$ having higher strength at room and high temperatures. The volume fractions of intermetallic phases were measured as 82.4, 58.6, 38.4% in 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 initial thickness ratio of Ni:Al.

TiB2 and TiC were prepared from the mixture of metal titanium, boron and graphite powders in Argon atmosphere by Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis method. The sintered properties of TiB2-TiC composite as a function of TiC content and sintering temperature were investigated in TiB2 matrix. The sintered properties were the most excellent at 10 wt% TiC content in TiB2-TiC composite. The relative density, M.O.R strength, hardness and fracture toughness of TiB2-10 wt% TiC composite sintered at 190$0^{\circ}C$ for 90 min by hot-pressing under the pressure of 30 MPa were 98.6%, 634 MPa, 2128.1 kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$ and 4.09 MN/m3/2, respectively.

For the manufacture of iron oxide, the hydro-process and the pyre-process are conventionally used. Both processes use a huge amount of chemicals in reaction which affect the environment harmfully. This paper introduced the new environment friendly processes; the bio-chemical process and the self propagating high temperature synthesis process.
