Abstract
- TiB 2 composite ceramics containing different amounts of Ti and TiC were fabricated via spark plasma sintering (SPS), and effects of their addition contents on the microstructure and mechanical properties were discussed. The newly formed phases of TiB with a cubic lattice structure in the composite ceramics were observed. At a relatively low temperature of 1510 °C, pressure of 50 MPa, and holding time of 5 min, the TiB 2 composite ceramic with 30 wt% TiC and 10 wt% Ti additions acquired an excellent strength of 727 MPa and a high toughness of 7.62 MPa m1/2. The improvement in strength and toughness was attributed to the mixed fracture mode, second phase strengthening, and increased energy consumption for crack propagation caused by the newly formed phases and fine TiC particles. In addition, the significant effects of the Ti and TiC addition contents on the densification temperature and mechanical properties of the composite ceramics were determined using analysis of variance (ANOVA).
