ABSTRACT

B4C-SiC composites were fabricated using hot press sintering method without sintering additives at 1,900~2,000° Cunder a pressure of 40 MPa. The crystal phase, relative density, microstructure, and mechanical properties of B4C-SiC composites were evaluated. When B4C and SiC were uniformly dispersed in the composite, grain growth was inhibited, and a sintered body with a fine and uniform microstructure, with improved mechanical properties, was fabricated. The relative density of B4C-SiC composites sintered under 2,000°C of temperature and 40 MPa of pressure was over 99.8 %, and the bending strength and Vicker’s hardness at 50 wt% of B4C were 645 MPa and 30.6 GPa, respectively.
