Development of porous composite self-propagating high-temperature ceramics of the Ti-B-C system

The results of investigations into the porous composite ceramics produced from the Ti-B-C system by self-propagating high-temperature (SHS) synthesis are represented. The effect of the titanium amount in the charge and the billet density on the structure formation and strength characteristics of synthesized porous materials is studied. The results of their investigations using a JSM-6390A scanning electron microscope, an ARL X’TRA diffractometer, and an INSTRON 5988 universal testing machine are given.
