RESEARCH INITIATION AWARD: Modeling and Experimental Studies of Simultaneous Combustion Synthesis and Densification

摘要- CTS-9309561本提案涉及在外力存在下自传播高温合成（SHS）的分析和实验技术的应用。提出了两种施加力的模式：单轴压力和离心压力。本研究的具体目标包括了解同时燃烧和致密化，相分离和界面相互作用。需要建立分析关系来描述燃烧和致密化的同时影响。设想了一种策略，用于设计和扩大过程，同时合成和致密。

ABSTRACT --- CTS-9309561 This proposal deals with the application of analytical and experimental techniques to Self Propagating High Temperature Synthesis (SHS) in the presence of external forces. Two types of modes of application of the force are proposed to be investigated: uniaxial and centrifugal pressing. The specific goals of this study include the understanding of simultaneous combustion and densification, phase separation and interfacial interactions. Analytical relationships are to be developed to describe the simultaneous effects of combustion and densification. A strategy is envisioned for the design and scale-up of the process to synthesize and densify simultaneously.
