Abstract: Combustion synthesis is a new process with many advantages and has immense application prospects for manufacturing materials. The process of combustion synthesis is similar to the process of powber metallurgy in every way. The process, characteristic and applications of combustion synthesis are provided along with a discussion about coordination and difference between combustion synthesis and powder metallurgy. Engineers and scientists in the field of powder metallurgy are fit for the job to research and develop the combustion synthesis taking note of the closecoordinetion between combustion synthesis and powder metallurgy.
