The use of consumable -electrode arc melting as a production technology
is growing. An advantageous feature of the process is the avoidance of ingot
contamination by soluble crucible materials. This is accomplished by the
expedient of employing a chilled metal crucible. As might be expected, the
thermal balance under these...
Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is a new
method of producing advanced ceramic materials and offers an
attractive alternative to conventional methods of materials
processing.
An experimental investigation was carried out to determine
the SHS reaction wave propagation speed in a vertical cylindrical
compact made from a mixture of titanium and...
