Combustion synthesis (CS) is a novel method for synthesizing and producing advanced inorganic materials, which provides energy- and time-saving advantages over conventional processing routes. The thermal explosion (TE) mode of CS was found to be suitable for the synthesis of intermetallic compounds, metal- and intermetallic-matrix composites.
Since ignition temperature is very important in optimizing TE processing routes and establishing appropriate safety precautions for its industrial...
