Establishment of SHS metallurgy

Project description

Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is an exothermic chemical process occurring in avtovolnovye mode type of combustion and leading to the formation of solid products.

SVS is a mode of exothermic reactions, where heat generation is localized in a narrow layer and is transmitted from layer to layer by heat transfer, called "solid flame".

"Solid flame" provides valuable and refractory metals and materials.

Technology

The advantage of the SVS technology is incorporated in the principle — using heat released from chemical reactions instead of heat a substance from an external source, so SVS processes successfully compete with the traditional energy-intensive technologies. Powder mixture (charge) is placed in the reactor and in the gas medium produces a local initiating the process (ignition). Then occurs a spontaneous propagation of the combustion wave, covering the entire mixture, completing the reaction and cooling of the synthesized product.

Another advantage of the SVS is the effect of self-cleaning — thermal desorption of volatile impurities at a temperature of synthesis. Therefore, the resulting products can be cleaner than the original reactants.

In organic systems the main advantage of the technology in comparison with traditional schemes of organic synthesis is the exclusion of solvents and their equipment.

The use of the SHS-products (materials)

SVS products can be applied in various fields of industries:

v mechanical engineering, metallurgy,

v chemical industry,

v electrical and electronics,

v aerospace engineering,

v building industry,

v in medicine, in surgery as materials with effect of memory shape implants,

v scientific instrumentation,

v components of the military industrial complex

SVS-production allows you to produce:

v nitrided steel

v high temperature heaters

v powders of titanium carbide and abrasive pastes on their basis

v nitrided ferroalloys

v powder of tri-silicon nitride and titanium hydride

v high temperature insulators,

v lithium niobate, silicon nitride and boron nitride

v details of work in abrasive and corrosive environments

The effectiveness of SHS-processes are linked:

v with the use of chemical dissipation

v high values of the temperature and velocity of combustion

v the simplicity of hardware design, high-quality products

v saving all of the source materials

v direct the synthesis of the finished products

BUSINESS PROJECT

Brief description of the project:

The aim of the project:

Profit from fundamentally new developments in technology of small metallurgy, synthesis of commercial materials available on the market and issue a new one. The item listed above. Creation of enterprise for production of these materials for commercial purposes.

A brief analysis of the market

On the market special rare materials, to date, remain the recognized leaders of Germany, Japan, United States, only for the reason that they are not restricted financial possibilities for research in this area. However, the materials developed and obtained in those countries, United by one distinctive feature – an extremely high price. Because they are obtained by traditional metallurgical methods. In the absence of competition, the market is divided between the above mentioned leaders. In particular, in Russia, their share is about 80%.

The main consumers of this group of materials:

v medicine

v mechanical engineering, metallurgy

v petrochemical industry

v electrical and electronics

v aerospace industry

v scientific instrumentation

v MIC

Total project cost 110 million.

The deadline is 8 months.

Return 1, 5 years since the establishment of the enterprise.

The execution plan of the project:

v development of design documentation for the reactor (completed).

v building of the experimental model of the reactor SVS (completed).

v laboratory studies

v research work, the tested technologies for the production of new and existing materials by SHS

v patents for research results

The practical part of the project involves the implementation of the resulting findings:

v creating the production site (12 reactors)

v organization of logistics

v preparation of highly qualified personnel

v implementation of the commercial part of the project
