SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The combustion temperature of a highly exothermic reaction can be above the melting point of the end products, which results in the formation of melt-casting products. Combustion synthesis melt casting technique possesses remarkable advantages for the low-cost production of structural and function materials with unique properties and characteristics. In this chapter, some combustion synthesis melt-casting reaction systems developed in recent years, such as refractory compounds, intermetallics, as well as advanced ceramics, are introduced, and the solidification mechanisms are discussed.
