Deformation of SHS products under combustion conditions

Abstract

We present results of experimental studies of structure formation in SHS materials under conditions combining combustion and high-temperature deformation. Such conditions are realized by the unconstrained SHS compression method proposed here, which allows the moldability of a material being synthesized to be assessed under real technological conditions. We discuss the capability of combustion products for high-temperature plastic deformation in the case of various SHS materials in relation to the ratio of the combustion temperature to the melting points of the starting components and combustion products during synthesis.
