Reaction dynamics in the combustion synthesis system of Al-CrO3-Al2O3-NaF-N2-O2

A new material with heat-resistant and adiabatic characteristics and high strength was prepared using the combustion synthesis method by mixed powders of CrO3, Al, Al2O3, and NaF in atmospheric gas. The reaction dynamic process of the Al-CrO3-NaF-Al2O3-N2-O2 new material system by the combustion synthesis method was discussed based on the observation results by SEM, EDS, and XRD in combination with the combustion front quenching method (CFQM) and the relation curves between reaction free enthalpies and the corresponding temperatures. The combustion synthesis mechanism and the formation reasons of the phase in the combustion product were analyzed.
