Abstract

The research revealed the carbon micro traces in the synthesis products of magnesium aluminate spinel produced by the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) in the MgO-Al2O3-Mg(NO3)2·6H2O-Al system with boron additives. The phase composition, structure, and morphological features of the surface of the samples were examined. The gases evolving during combustion were analyzed. IR spectroscopic analysis showed that carbon has a diamond-like lattice similar to the lattice of detonation nanodiamonds. It was shown that low-energy nuclear reactions (boron-proton reaction) proceed in the combustion wave during high-speed SHS processes under certain conditions. Based on the experimental data, the most probable mechanisms of carbon formation in the synthesized products were formulated and proposed.
