Field-Activated Combustion Synthesis of Ceramic and Composite Materials
Abstract
Modeling and experimental investigations on the effect of an electric field on the synthesis of materials by the self-propagating combustion method were carried out. The aim of these investigations included: (a) providing a fundamental understanding of the role of the field in synthesis, (b) simultaneously synthesizing and densifying hard materials, (c) synthesizing materials from highly dense reactants, and (d) determining the role of the field in the microstructural developments during synthesis.
