Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis
Simulation of SHS of NiAl, showing the reaction between solid nickel particles and liquid aluminium matrix at micro- (left) and macroscopic (right) levels
SHS is used as a technique for the synthesis and processing of a wide variety of materials, such as intermetallic compounds, ceramics and composites. PhasePot can be used to simulate the process kinetics and also the reaction mechanism at the microstructure level.
