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 …

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 …

A unique optimized of core–shell structural B 4 C nanopowder, sintering aid additive of Si,
and high-pressure sintering technique has been used to process nanocrystalline B 4 C–SiC …

Fully dense boron carbide discs were achieved by spark plasma sintering boron carbide
powders with 10 wt% silicon. The silicon did not diffuse into boron carbide grains to produce …

Boron carbide (B4C) is a ceramic with a structure composed of B12 or B11C icosahedra
bonded to each other and to three (C and/or B)-atom chains. Despite its excellent hardness …

Reaction-bonded boron carbide (RBBC) composites have great potential for large-scale
industrial production owing to their low cost and flexible product size. In this work, RBBC …
