Abstract

This article summarizes and comments on the characteristics of zirconium carbide and boride powders synthesized by traditional synthesis methods. These methods include direct synthetic method, carbothermal reduction, magnesiothermic reduction, sol-gel, mechanical alloying, liquid phase precursor conversion, pre-ceramic polymers, and self-propagating high-temperature synthesis techniques. Additionally, this paper describes the latest research progresses of the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique of zirconium carbide and boride, and prospects the nanocrystallization and large-scale will be the direction of future industrial researches


Keywords: ZrC, ZrB2, Nano powder, Synthesis methods, SHS technique
