Boron carbide‑silicon carbide ceramic is a novel material as tribological structural
components. Compared with traditional tribo-components composed of single-phase boron …

B4C–SiC composite ceramics are a very promising alternative to pure B4C ceramics and
pure SiC ceramics. B4C–SiC composite ceramics exhibit a combination of the desirable …

B 4 C–SiC intergranular/intragranular nanocomposites with high hardness and high
toughness were fabricated through mechanochemical processing with B 4 C, Si, and …

The particulars of phase and structure formation during reaction sintering of materials based
on boron carbide and silicon carbide are examined, and the actual technological aspects of …

Boron carbide ceramic composites (B 4 C)-silicon carbide (SiC) with the cerium oxide (CeO
2) additive, which was varied from 0 wt% to 9 wt%, were prepared by pressureless sintering …

RBSC composites are fully dense materials fabricated by infiltration of compacted mixtures
of silicon carbide and carbon by molten silicon. Free carbon is usually added in the form of …

Reaction bonded boron carbide composites are among the hardest ceramics with low
specific gravity values, a combination that makes them eminently suitable for light armour …

B 4 C-SiC composites with fine grains were fabricated with hot-pressing pyrolyzed mixtures
of polycarbosilane-coated B 4 C powder without or with the addition of Si at 1950° C for 1 h …

Porous boron-carbide billets containing different amounts of carbon (0–15 wt%) were
infiltrated with molten silicon to produce dense materials (ρ= 99.6% of theoretical) from …

Over the last two decades, many studies have contributed to improving our understanding of
the brittle failure mechanisms of boron carbide and provided a road map for inhibiting the …
