Jn this work SHS-pressing process is studied. Concepts of compactable temperature minimum (
Tp) and compactable time maximum (
tp) are defined. A temperature-time-state diagram (TTSD) is presented. The upper limit of pressing time delay after combustion,
τ, which is a control parameter of the SHS-pressing process, can be determined by
tp-
tc, where
tc is combustion time. On the basis of the analysis, nearly full dense TiC-Ni-Mo alloy is synthesized.
