Processing and Mechanical Properties of ZrC-ZrO2 Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sintering behavior of ZrC-ZrO2 ceramic composites processed by vacuum and spark plasma sintering routines as well as mechanical properties of the obtained materials were studied in the present paper. It has been shown that both methods of the composites fabrication are suitable for producing ZrC-ZrO2 composites; however, SPS-ed composition gives somewhat higher hardness of the bulk.
