Abstract
ABSTRACTSelf-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) or combustion synthesis (CS) is a rapidly developing research area. SHS materials are being used in various fields, including mechanical and chemical engineering, medical and bioscience, aerospace and nuclear industries. The goal of the present paper is to provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art review and to analyse a critical mass of knowledge in the field of SHS materials and coatings. We also briefly discuss the history and scientific foundations of SHS along with an overview of the technological aspects for synthesis of different materials, including powders, ceramics, metal-ceramics, intermetallides, and composite materials. Application of CS in the field of surface engineering is also discussed focusing on two main routes for applying SHS to coating deposition: (i) single-step formation of the desired coatings and (ii) use of SHS-derived powders, targets or electrodes in the coating deposition processes.
