The anisotropic elastic and thermal expansions of the titanium borides (TiB 2, Ti 3 B 4,
TiB_Pnma and TiB _ Fm 3¯ m) are calculated from first-principles using density functional …

TiB 2 based materials have attracted extensive attention due to its considerable hardness
and elastic modulus, excellent wear/corrosion resistance as well as exceptional …

We systematically study the morphology, size and dispersion of TiB 2 particles formed in-situ
from Fe–Ti–B based melts, as well as their chemical composition, crystal structure and …

In order to explore the interfacial structure of Mg (0 0 0 1)/TiB 2 (0 0 0 1) interface and
understand the heterogeneous nucleation potential of α-Mg grains on TiB 2 particles, the …

Borides are extensively employed in applications demanding exceptionally high hardness,
which arises from the unique and strong crystallographic arrangement of boron atoms …

Determining thermal and physical quantities across a broad temperature domain, especially
up to the ultra-high temperature region, is a formidable theoretical and experimental …

Successful metallurgical design of metal-matrix-composites relies on the knowledge of the
intrinsic property profiles of the metal matrix and especially the compounds employed for …

Elastic properties (Young׳ s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson׳ s ratio) of ZrB 2, SiC
