Combustion and plasma synthesis of high-temperature materials

Abstract

Various papers on combustion and plasmas synthesis of high-temperature materials are presented. Individual topics addressed include: self-propagation high-temperature synthesis, modeling and numerical computation of a nonsteady SHS process, new modes of quasi-periodic burning in combustion synthesis, combustion synthesis of intermetallic compounds, combustion synthesis of nickel aluminides, advanced ceramics via SHS, simultaneous combustion synthesis and densification of AlN, combustion synthesis of oxide-carbide composites. Also discussed are: combustion synthesis in the Ti-C-Ni-Al systems, combustion synthesis dynamics modeling, shock-induced reaction synthesis-assisted processing of ceramics, shock consolidation of combustion-synthesized ceramics, thermal plasma synthesis ceramic powders and coatings, formation of refractory aerosol particles, silica particle formation using the counterflow diffusion flame burner, synthesis of Si, SiC, and Si3N4 powders under high number density conditions.
