Prospective SHS composites for high-temperature applications

Abstract

In this article, a succinct review of the SHS ceramics prospective for the high-temperature applications is provided. Macrokinetic features and mechanisms of combustion and structure formation were studied for the systems Ta–Zr–C, Ta–Hf–C, Zr–Ta–B, Hf–Ta–B, Zr–B–Si–C, Ta–Si–C, Mo–Hf–Si–B, and Zr–Ta–B–Si. Materials were produced by the combination of SHS with hot pressing (HP) and spark plasma sintering (SPS), and their structure and properties were investigated.
