Abstract

Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), also called combustion synthesis, is useful for fabricating numerous ceramics. In the case of SiC, heat released from the exothermic reaction is not sufficient to completely convert the mixed reactants of constituent elements into SiC in the usual nonadiabatic experimental system. This disadvantage could be overcome by a new ignition process called, the “direct passing method of electric current.” By using this method, stoichiometric fine SiC powder could be obtained rapidly and efficiently with low electric power. This paper also involves the effect of particle size of Si and C initial reactant powders on conversion efficiency into SiC and also on particle size of SiC powder fabricated by this method.
