Effect of B4C Content on Densification Behavior of SiC-B4C Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The SiC-B4C multi-phase ceramics was fabricated by gas-pressure sintering technology. The rare-earth oxide Al2O3 combined with Er2O3/SiO2 was served as sintering aids. The results were shown that the combination of Al2O3/Er2O3/SiO2 sintering additives were effective for densification of SiC-B4C multi-phase ceramics. The influence of B4C content on the phase constitution, microstructure and densification behavior of the SiC-B4C multi-phase ceramics were detailed. The lose weight and volume shrinkage rate of SiC-B4C multi-phase ceramics had similar evolvement trend when B4C content increased. Keywords: Gas-Pressure Sintering, SiC-B4C multi-phase ceramics, densification behavior.
