Mechanical and electrical properties of B 4 C–CrB 2 ceramics fabricated by liquid phase sintering

Fabrication and characterization of B4C-based ceramic composites with different mass fractions of hexagonal boron nitride

“…However, poor sinterability [11][12][13], machinability [14] and tribological performance [15,16] of B 4 C ceramic have restricted its engineering application. The tribological performance of B 4 C sliding against 45 steel has been performed by Gogosti et al [16].…”

Studies on the effect of processing parameters on electroless coating of copper on boron carbide particles

“…The fabrication of fully densified B 4 C without sintering requires hot pressing above 2373K with the application of load of more than 30MPa in uniaxial direction [19,20]. Its applicability in structural shielding and other functional applications can be widespread by dispersing it Keywords: electroless coating; boron carbide; adhesion; neutron shielding into metal matrixes which provides mechanical properties of metal and unique properties of B 4 C [21][22][23].…”

Pressureless sintering of boron carbide

“…To increase the volume and grain boundary diffusion and, therefore, to promote densification at lower temperatures, different additives such as C, B, TiB 2 , Si, Al, Mg, SiC, SiC + Al, TiB 2 + C, TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , TiC, WC, BN, etc. have been proposed [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. A promising method is the use of organic precursors, e.g.…”
