V rabote rassmatrivaetsya novyy podkhod k sintezu nitridov kremniya i niobiya metodom samorasprostranyayushchegosya vysokotemperaturnogo sinteza (SVS). Novyy podkhod zaklyuchaetsya v ispol'zovanii ferrosplavov v kachestve iskhodnogo syr'ya (vmesto dorogostoyashchikh poroshkov kremniya i niobiya) i sozdanii usloviy sinteza, obespechivayushchikh vykhod nitridov bolee 98%. Detal'no rassmotren protsess SVS, otmecheny ego osnovnye preimushchestva. Predstavleny rezul'taty issledovaniy zakonomernostey i mekhanizma azotirovaniya ferrosilitsiya i ferroniobiya v rezhime goreniya, bol'shoe vnimanie udeleno fazo- i strukturoobrazovaniyu nitridov v volne goreniya, opisany metody issledovaniya produktov goreniya. Issledovan protsess kislotnogo obogashcheniya produktov SVS kak sposob vydeleniya i dispergirovaniya nitridov Si i Nb. Predstavlen tekhnologicheskiy protsess polucheniya azotirovannykh ferrosplavov, rassmotren ekologicheskiy aspekt SVS-tekhnologii. Kniga rasschitana na inzhenerno-tekhnicheskikh rabotnikov metallurgicheskoy, khimicheskoy promyshlennosti, a takzhe na shirokiy krug spetsialistov v oblasti poroshkovoy metallurgii, ogneuporov, kompozitsionnykh materialov. Mozhet byt' polezna aspirantam i studentam khimicheskikh i metallurgicheskikh vuzov.
