Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis

ID: self-propagating-high-temperature-synthesis

Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is a solid-state process used to produce various materials, particularly intermetallic compounds, ceramics, and other advanced materials. This method relies on the exothermic chemical reactions between the reactants that generate enough heat to sustain and propagate the reaction throughout the entire mixture without the need for external heating.
