Among hard materials, icosahedra-based boron-rich ceramics are only second to diamond-
based structures. This class of ceramics possesses lower density, higher thermal and …

Lightweight materials with superior designs and improved properties have always been in
demand of the aerospace and automobile industries for improved performance. Spark …

In the presented work, B4C was irradiated with xenon swift heavy ions at the energy of 167
MeV. The irradiation of the substrate was done at room temperature to a fluence of 3.83× …

B 4 C ceramics were fabricated by spark plasma sintering with 5%(Ti 3 SiC 2+ Si) as
sintering aid. The effects of sintering temperatures and sintering aid on microstructures and …

Fine-grained and dense boron carbide ceramics are sintered by SPS process. The effect of
the decrease of the impurities content by a heat-treatment of the starting powder is studied …

Boron carbide is widely used either as armor-plate or neutron absorber. In both cases, a
good structural stability is required. However, a few studies have shown amorphisation may …

Boron carbide (B4C) is generally produced by the traditional carbothermic reduction
method. However, low-cost methods have emerged as alternatives to the current …

Abstract A kind of B 4 C/SiC composite ceramic toughened by graphene platelets and Al
was fabricated by spark plasma sintering. The effects of graphene platelets and Al on …

We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of boron carbide under
stress/deformation. A special rotating anvil press, the rotating tomography Paris Edinburgh …

The microstructure, electrochemical responses, and passive film characteristics of
FeCrMoWCBY bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) under Ar+ irradiation were investigated. Under …
