High energy ion beam of a plasma focus device was used to combust TiO{sub 2}-B-Al powder mixture under quasi-adiabatic conditions. Despite uncompleted propagation of combustion wave through the sample, the microstructure of the product was completely different from that obtained from conventional bulk heating in furnace. Combustion reaction of the mixture in furnace at 700 deg. C resulted in spiral-helix motion, while plasma synthesis of the same mixture resulted in uniform self-sustaining wave propagation.
