ABSTRACT

In this study, two pretreatment methods were used to improve the sinterability of zirconium diboride (ZrB2). As a mechanical treatment, as-received ZrB2 powder was crushed using SPEX mill from an average size of 2.61 μm to 0.35 μm. As a chemical treatment, oxygen contents of ZrB2 powder were decreased from 4.20 wt% to 2.22 wt% using a dilute hydrofluoric solution. The relative density of sintered ZrB2 increased with decreasing particle size and oxygen contents. But it is considered that particle size is more effective than oxygen contents for ZrB2 densification. Through the two pretreatment processes, we produced sintered ZrB2 ceramic with a full density without sintering additives. The sinterability of ZrB2 was improved by using mechanical and chemical pretreatment methods.
