“…Therefore, it is necessary to establish a method that can effectively improve the mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, and friction properties of the multilayer. Among many materials, ZrB 2 has the advantages of a high melting point, high hardness, low density, excellent corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance [10][11][12][13][14][15][16], and it is a promising ultra-high temperature ceramic material. Over the years, despite extensive research on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZrB 2 [17,18], its application was still limited by its inherent brittleness, low fracture toughness, and unreliable high temperature performance [19,20].…”
