Reverse burning phenomenon in self-propagating high-temperature synthesis
J-H. Lee, A-Y. Lee, C-C. Chen
(National Chung Cheng University)
An interesting reverse burning phenomenon was observed during the combustion synthesis of zirconium-based materials. When an external heat was applied to one end of a green pellet, the ignition was initiated at the other end. Also, the ignition position, measured from the heated end, was proportional to the apparent green density of the compact. The possible explanations for this reverse burning phenomenon are discussed.
