Description
Summary:TiB2 powders were obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis from a mixture of TiO<sub>2</sub>, B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Mg. The effect of milling duration of TiO<sub>2</sub> and B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> to the resulted products was investigated. The products were characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. Subsequently, the synthesized products were leached with 3.26 M HCl solutions and the final product of TiB<sub>2</sub> was obtained. The percentage of TiB<sub>2</sub> produced was affected by the milling time of TiO<sub>2</sub> and B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>.
