## Description

- description: Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is a combustion-based
    method that involves a self-heating chain reaction, which is effective for rapidly
    producing materials with high melting points. Herein, ultrafast high-temperature
    sintering (UHS) was leveraged to ignite the SHS of titanium carbide (TiC) from
    titanium and graphite powders, and the heat generation and microstructural evolution
    during the process were investigated. The exothermic heat generated during TiC
    synthesis was confirmed, demonstrating that SHS was initiated in the initial stage
    of UHS. The incubation time before SHS ignition decreased with an increase in
    the UHS temperature above the melting point of titanium. Scanning electron microscopy
    revealed that fine TiC grains formed during SHS, which became denser under continued
    UHS. Additionally, molten Ti spread over the graphite particles during SHS, which
    transformed into plate-like TiC grains with elongated voids between them under
    subsequent heating by UHS. This structural feature was found to hinder further
    densification.
