The influence of certain factors on the kinetics of the process of obtaining aluminum borides (burning rate, ingot formation, and phase separation) was investigated. In this study, we report the registration of diboride using the SHS protocol. The synthesis of aluminum diboride from boric anhydride occurred by the aluminothermic method. The initial components were boron trioxide and aluminum in the form of powders. Researchers paid special attention to the degree of grinding of the charge fluxing substances. The influence this had on the rate of development of the degree of charge concentration was studied. To calculate the degree of charge, a composition was chosen according to the speed obtained from a number of experiments where melting was carried out with the following charge densities in g/cm3: 0.80; 1.08; 1.18; 1.74. The method of melting was ignition from above. The experimental results allowed us to conclude that the nature of the change in the combustion rate of the system, where there was an excess of the reducing agent in the charge, is the same. An increase in the combustion rate, where there was an excess of aluminum of up to 20%, was likely due to the fact that the reaction area of the charge components increased. In addition, an increase in speed can be explained by a decrease in heat losses due to a reduction in the melting time. With an increase in excess aluminum above 20% of the stoichiometry, the observed decrease in the combustion rate can be explained by a decrease in the specific heat of the process due to the melting of the excess aluminum, which played the role of a ballast.
