The self‐propogating high‐temperature syntheis (SHS) experiments in the glove box indicated that the combustion temperature decreased and the ignition time increased with increasing B 4 C size in Cu‐Zr‐B 4 C system. Once B 4 C size exceeded 28 μm, the full conversion of ZrC and ZrB 2 failed. In situ ZrC and ZrB 2 ceramic particle‐reinforced Cu matrix composites were produced by the self‐propagating high‐temperature synthesis reaction of Cu‐Zr‐B 4 C system in molten Cu. Moreover, the phase formation mechanism was investigated by the combustion wave quenching experiment of Cu‐Zr‐B 4 C powder compact in Cu liquid. Results showed that ZrC and ZrB 2 were mainly formed by the dissolution‐reaction‐precipitation mechanism. A developed method arresting the combustion front of a reactant in molten metal was proposed.
