The effect of mechanical treatment by planetary ball milling on the properties of hot pressed ZrB 2 -SiC ceramics was studied. It has been shown that material densification after mechanical treatment is finished on initial stages of sintering process. Addition of SiC leads to essentially increasing of sample density up to 99% of a theoretical one for powder with 20% SiC, as compared with ZrB 2 not higher when 76%. It has been shown that all defects which were accumulated during mechanical treatment are annealed during hot pressure process and there are no any changes of coherently diffracting domain (CDD) values in sintered ceramics. The model was suggested to describe of three-layered porous composite synthesis at the conditions of hot isostatic pressing and investigate the porosity evolution during synthesis. Model takes into account the conjugate heat exchange between sintered materials and walls of the reactor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
