Abstract:UHTC composites were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) from the Ti-B 4 C reaction system with addition of Cr, Mo, and W. The starting sample composition was formulated as (3−x)Ti + B 4 C + xMe with x = 0.1-1.0 and Me = Cr, Mo, or W. For all samples conducted in this study, self-sustaining combustion was well established and propagated with a distinct reaction front. With no addition of Cr, Mo, or W, solid state combustion of the 3Ti + B 4 C sample featuring a combustion front temper… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
