Direct reactions between transition metals and carbon and/or boron carbide are accompanied by a substantial heat release which may result in a self-sustaining combustion process. It is demonstrated that TiC-WC solid solutions with TiC composition up to 50 wt% can be synthesized in a self-sustaining regime. The effect of reactant particle sizes and reaction conditions is discussed in detail. Combustion synthesis of TiC-TiB{sub 2} composite powders from Ti and B{sub 4}C and their subsequent densification are also presented.
