摘要
The synergistic roles of boron carbide and carbon additions in the enhanced densification of zirconium diboride (ZrB2) by pressureless sintering have been studied. ZrB2 was sintered to > 99% relative density at 1900 degrees C. The combination of 2 wt% boron carbide and 1 wt% carbon promoted densification by removing surface oxide impurities (ZrO2 and B2O3) and inhibiting grain growth. Four-point bending strength (473 +/- 43 MPa), Vickers' microhardness (19.6 +/- 0.4 GPa), fracture toughness (3.5 +/- 0.6 MPa.m(1/2)), and Young's modulus (507 GPa) were measured. Thermal gravimetry showed that the combination of additives did not have an adverse effect on the oxidation behavior.
