Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is a microanalytical technique widely used for the
characterization of materials. Since its development in the 1950s, different instrumental and …

Triple junctions, intersections of three or more grains in polycrystalline solids, are known
locations of potential stress concentration and strain localization. In this work, intragranular …

Solution-processability is one of the merits of sulfide solid electrolytes because it is a facile
and scalable process to construct a thin electrolyte coating layer on active material powders …

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of TiB 2-CoNi cermets at different
sintering temperatures were investigated. A small amount of liquid phase appeared between …

The microstructure and mechanical properties of the vacuum sintered (80-x) TiB 2-xWC−
10Co-10 Ni (x= 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5) cermets were studied by XRD, SEM, EPMA and TEM …

In this paper, the concept of incorporating core–shell structured units as secondary phases
to toughen Al2O3 ceramics is proposed. Al2O3 composite ceramics toughened by B4C …

TiC whiskers were synthesized by carbothermal reduction process. By using these whiskers
as the toughening phase, a novel TiB 2 based ceramic cutting tool material was prepared …

In this research, various types of nitride additives were incorporated into titanium diboride
attaining dense TiB 2-based ceramics by field-assisted sintering technique. The addition of …

The purity of TiB 2 is unsatisfactory (< 97%) even when synthesized at a high reaction
temperature (∼ 1800° C) using the carbothermal method. In this work, a thermodynamic …

TiB 2–TiC-based cermets are expected to replace cemented carbide in the cutting and
finishing of ferrous alloys, steel, aluminum, copper, and other nonferrous metals owing to …
