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

Handbook of Nanomaterials for Industrial Applications explores the use of novel
nanomaterials in the industrial arena. The book covers nanomaterials and the techniques …

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 …

Inspired by the hierarchical structure of the nacre shell and its related multi-scale
strengthening and toughening mechanisms, B 4 C and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) …

The previously reported model that accounts for the formation of the core-rim structure in
reaction-bonded boron carbide composites (RBBC) is expanded and validated by additional …

B4C ceramics doped with different Si contents were fabricated by the spark plasma sintering
technique. Pure B4C ceramic could be densified to 99% of the theoretical density. The …

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 …

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 …

Dense B 4 C compacts were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique in the
presence of Si as a sintering aid. The densification behavior and mechanical properties of B …
