Abstract: | Boron carbide (B4C)-based ceramics were pressureless sintered to a relative density of 96.1% at 2150 °C, with the co-incorporation of tungsten carbide and pyrolytic carbon. The as-batched boron carbide power was 7.89 m2 g?1 in surface area. A level of fracture toughness as high as 5.80 ± 0.12 MPa m1/2 was achieved in the BW-6C composite. Sintering aids of carbon and tungsten boride were formed by an in situ reaction. The toughness improvement was attributed to the presence of thermal residual stress as well as the W2B5 platelets. The thermal conductivity and thermal expansivity of the BW-6C composite as a function of temperature are also reported in this work. Our current study demonstrated that the B4C–W2B5 composites could be potential candidate materials for structural applications. |
