“…The five phases of materials used to make the quintuplex composite having a composition of 20 vol% Al 2 O 3 –20 vol% TiB 2 –20 vol% TiC–20 vol% ZrB 2 –20 vol%“ZrO 2 ,” were Al 2 O 3 , TiB 2 , TiC, ZrB 2 , and “ZrO 2 .” All the possible two‐phase solid solutions or composites of Al 2 O 3 –TiC, 17,18 Al 2 O 3 –TiB 2 , 19,20 Al 2 O 3 –ZrB 2 , 21,22 Al 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 , 23 TiC–TiB 2 , 24,25 TiC–ZrB 2 , 26 TiC–ZrO 2 , 27 TiB 2 –ZrB 2 , 28 TiB 2 –ZrO 2 , 29 and ZrB 2 –ZrO 2 30,31 have been reported in the literature. Depending on the processing conditions, this information from the literature indicates that Al 2 O 3 , TiB 2 , TiC, ZrB 2 , and ZrO 2 are compatible with one another and can be fabricated as multi‐phase composites in combination with any of these materials.…”
