Abstract
ZrC fine powder has been prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) based on exothermic reduction reaction of ZrO2–C–Mg. The combustion temperature observed was 1979 K. The effects of Mg content and particle size on the combustion temperature and chemical composition of the product were investigated. The reducing agent Mg plays an important role on the purity of ZrC powder obtained by SHS process. Post-heat treatment was applied to decrease the oxygen content of the final product further.
