Abstract
We present thermodynamic calculations concerning the adiabatic temperatures of the SHS reaction producing TiC in the presence of nickel, either metallic or resulting from the aluminothermic reduction of nickel monoxide, and a reaction moderator, alumina or magnesia. In addition, some emphasis is put on the amounts of the various liquid phases which may have a key role in the densification of resulting products.
