Abstract: | ![]() The formation of BN-B4C composite materials by sintering in nitrogen is investigated. Structural, mechanical, and chemical characteristics of these materials are examined. Excellent dielectric properties, thermal and chemical stability, and erosion resistance in high-intensity laser beams enable high-temperature application of BN-B4C composite materials. __________ Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, Vol. 46, No. 1–2(453), pp. 58–63, 2007. |
