In some cases, several refractory compounds can result from two or more parallel reactions occurring simultaneously in the combustion wave. A typical example of this type is the Ti-C-B system, where both the Ti+C and Ti-I-2B reactions affect the combustion synthesis and structure formation processes (Shcherbakov and Pityulin, 1983). By adjusting the contents of carbon and boron powders in the reactant mixture, either carbide- or boride-based ceramics can be obtained.

In Japan, several commercial projects have been reported in the literature. For example, at the National Research Institute for Metals, the NiTi shape-memory alloy is produced by combustion synthesis from elemental powder for use as wires, tubes, and sheets. The mechanical properties and the shape-memory effect of the wires are similar to those produced conventionally (Kaieda et ai, 1990b). Also, the production of metal-ceramic composite pipes from the centrifugal-thermite process has been reported (Odawara, 1990 see also Section III,C,1).

The thermite process may be the original inspiration of combustion synthesis (CS), a relatively new technique for synthesizing advanced materials fl-om powder into shaped products of ceramics, metallics, and composites. Professor Varma and his associates at Notre Dame contributed the article Combustion Synthesis of Advanced Materials Principles and Applications, which features this process that is characterized by high temperature, fast heating rates, and short reaction times.
