Abstract:
The theoretical principles behind the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of refractory materials are established. The physico-chemical characteristics of these materials are studied and the technology for their production is optimized. The thermochemical and kinetic parameters of the solid-phase combustion of systems based on fireclay, chromite, magnesium sulfate, and aluminum are examined; the phase composition and thermodynamic and physico-mechanical characteristics of the combustion products are determined and formulations are developed for refractory concretes and gunites.
