Abstract
The effect of the reactant particle size on the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction behaviors in the Ni-Ti-B4C system was investigated in the present study. The B4C particle size has a significant effect on the ignition behavior and combustion wave velocity, while Ti and Ni particle sizes have only a limited influence. Increasing the B4C particle size retards the reaction initiation and remarkably lowers the combustion velocity and combustion temperature. The reaction products are mainly dependent on the B4C particle size. Nevertheless, decreasing Ni and Ti particle sizes is in favor of perfect products consisting of only TiC, TiB2, and Ni phases.
