Abstract

Investigated was the effect of Si substitution for SiC on SHS in the Ti–Si–C system. Starting powders were intermixed to obtain 3Ti–SiC–C and 3Ti–Si–2C green mixtures and then green compacts by uniaxial pressing. The influence of heating rate, reactor temperature, and replacement of SiC by Si was studied by XRD, SEM, and TEM. In combustion products obtained in optimized conditions, Ti3SiC2 was found to be predominant. In comparison with conventional methods, our products obtained in a one-step low-temperature process contained minimal amounts of undesired impurities and required no finishing processes such as chemical purification.
