Improved mechanical and tribological properties of (TiZrHfNbTa)C with the addition of silicon carbide whiskers

Dense (Ti0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2Nb0.2Ta0.2)C with up to 10 wt % SiC whisker were prepared by spark plasma sintering. The influence of SiCw on the microstructure development, mechanical and tribological properties has been investigated. Nanohardness of HEC and SiCw phases varied between 38 GPa and 40 GPa, and...
