Abstract
Dense TiN-TiB2 and ZrB2-ZrC composites were produced by using stoichiometric Ti-BN and Zr-B4C powder mixtures with 1 wt% Ni at 40 MPa, 1600°C for 30 min. Addition of excess Ti / /Zr powder to stoichiometric Ti-BN / /Zr-B4C powder mixtures yielded dense TiNx-TiB2 and ZrB2-ZrCx composites at 1200°C. The densification echanism in TiN-TiB2 composites attributed to the presence of transient Ti-Ni liquid phase for long time. However, in case of ZrB2-ZrC composites, plastic deformation of transient ZrCx grains during reactive hot pressing played a predominant role in densification without Ni. Further, ZrB2-ZrC-SiC composite were produced by using Zr-B4C-Si powder mixtures at 1600°C for 30 min. The relative density, hardness and fracture toughness of the composites are 99%, 20-–22 GPa and 5-–5.5 MPa.m1/2 respectively.
