Ceramic materials having melting points higher than 3000° C and suitable for structural
applications at above 2000° C are commonly known as Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics …

Abstract Carbon/carbon (C/C) composites are considered as one of the most promising
materials in structural applications owing to their excellent mechanical properties at high …

Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) have played a significant role in fulfilling demands
for the thermal protection system (TPS) in the aerospace sector, however, a promising …

This paper reviews the crystal chemistry, synthesis, densification, microstructure, mechanical
properties, and oxidation behavior of zirconium diboride (ZrB2) and hafnium diboride (HfB2) …

This study reviews densification behaviour, mechanical properties, thermal, and electrical
conductivities of the ZrB2 ceramics and ZrB2-based composites. Hot-pressing is the most …

Zirconium diboride (ZrB2) and ZrB2 ceramics containing 10, 20, and 30 vol% SiC
particulates were prepared from commercially available powders by hot pressing. Four …

Titanium diboride (TiB2) based materials have received wide attention because of their high
hardness and elastic modulus, good abrasion resistance, and superior thermal and …

Analytical modeling of thermal and mechanical response is a fundamental step in the design
process for ultra-high-temperature ceramic components, such as nose tips and wing leading …

A thermodynamic model was developed to explain the formation of a SiC‐depleted layer
during ZrB2–SiC oxidation in air at 1500° C. The proposed model suggests that a structure …

The use of silicon nitride as a sintering aid (5 vol.%) greatly improves the powder
sinterability of zirconium diboride, in comparison to additive free ZrB2. Nearly full dense …
