Gasless combustion synthesis

From the viewpoint of chemical nature, three main types of CS processes can be distinguished. The first, gasless combustion synthesis from elements, is described by the equation... 

Based on their analyses, and incorporation of additional details, we have outlined some general relationships for gasless combustion synthesis of materials from elements (type 1), as shown schematically in Fig. 3. Both characteristic features of the process, the combustion wave propagation velocity and maximum temperature, have maximum values when the composition of the green mixture corresponds to the most exothermic reaction for a given system (Fig. 3a). In gen-...
