High bending strength at 1800 °C exceeding 1 GPa in TiB2-B4C composite

Abstract High density (99.5%) ceramic composite composed of titanium boride and boron carbide (70/30 vol%) was obtained by spark plasma sintering and was tested by 3-point bending test in Ar atmosphere at 1800 °C. Bending strength was high, around 1.1 GPa. The strength–strain curve presents a peculi...
