Production of Nanostructured Boron Carbide Ceramics for Industrial Applications

Abstract:

The optimal modes (temperature, time, pressure force) of spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot pressing of boron carbide obtained by various methods are determined. The initial powders were obtained from soot and amorphous boron by the mechanochemical synthesis method, by the high-temperature synthesis (SHS) method and by the carbon reduction method. The structure and the properties of SPS sintered and hot-pressed boron carbide blanks were determined. The highest value of the relative density was achieved during SPS sintering of blanks from B₄C powders obtained by mechanosynthesis and SHS methods. It was found out the optimal conditions for sintering blanks from B₄C powder obtained by mechanosynthesis. The density value reaches 99.0 rel.% at 1500 °C/25 MPa and sintering time of 45 min. For powders obtained by the SHS method, the density of sintered blanks is 98.5 rel.%. at 1800 °C/30 MPa with sintering time of 45 min. The highest value of the relative density was achieved during the hot pressing of blanks from B₄C powders obtained by mechanosynthesis.
