Formation of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis products in a magnetic field

The combustion of compressed Ni+16% Al, Ni+50% Al, Co+30% S, Ti+58% FeB, Ti+20% C, and FeO+10% Fe+18% Al mixtures in a constant magnetic field is studied. The depth of conversion is found to increase and the geometric dimensions of the phase components of the reaction end products to coarsen under the influence of the field in the systems containing a ferromagnetic metal. The changes in the reaction product are related to additional mass transport behind the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis wave.
