The objective of this study is to investigate the thermodynamic stability of different phases
evolved during fabrication of Al-12wt% Si-(TiB 2+ Al 2 O 3) hybrid composite using in-situ stir …

Abstract B4C‒15 vol% TiB2 composites were fabricated by in situ reactive spark plasma
sintering with B4C, TiC, and amorphous B powders as the raw materials. The size coupling …

In the recently introduced phenomenological diatomic molecular model imagining the
clusters as certain constructions of pair interatomic chemical bonds, there are estimated …

Reaction-bonded boron carbide (RBBC) composites have broad application prospects due
to their low cost and net size sintering. The microstructure, reaction mechanism of boron …

B4C ceramics have been widely used in armor plate and cutting tools due to their high
hardness. However, their poor sintering performance and low fracture toughness have …

Reaction-bonded boron carbide (RBBC) composites have great potential for large-scale
industrial production owing to their low cost and flexible product size. In this work, RBBC …

Submicron tungsten diboride (WB 2) powder was successfully synthesized with the ratio of
WO 3: B 4 C: C= 2: 1.1: 5. The effects of carbon sources (carbon black or graphite) and heat …
