Preparation of TiB₂/TiN Nanocomposites by SP

Abstract:

TiB₂/TiN nanocomposites were in-situ fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique using Ti and BN powders as starting materials. The phase constituents and microstructures of the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. The results showed that the average grain size of TiB₂ and TiN was 1m and 300nm respectively. Furthermore, high resolution TEM analysis indicated that the as-prepared TiB₂/TiN nanocomposites had very clean grain boundaries, and no amorphous phase or oxide layer was observed.
