| Abstract Scope |
Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis (SHS) utilizes highly exothermic reactions to rapidly produce materials with minimal external energy input. In conventional SHS, the reaction wave propagates through a powder preform, often resulting in a highly porous final product. We investigated the synthesis of high-temperature intermetallic compounds using SHS combined with in-situ pressure application within a mold to facilitate shaping and densification. Thermodynamic modeling via the CALPHAD method was employed to guide composition selection. This approach demonstrates a viable avenue for rapid prototyping of high-temperature materials with tailored compositions. |
