Abstract
The influence of high-energy mechanical alloying on the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) of titanium silicon carbide (Ti3SiC2) was investigated. A depression of the SHS ignition temperature as a function of milling time was observed. After 107 min of milling, a spontaneous combustion reaction (MASHS) occurred within the milling vial at 67 °C, which corresponded with an 25 °C rise in the vial temperature. Observed changes in the microstructure of the milled powders gave considerable insight into the process, which provides a means of controlling a previously difficult synthesis procedure.
