Improvement of mechanical properties of HfB2-based composites by incorporating in situ SiC reinforcement through pressureless sintering

Abstract HfB2, Si, and activated carbon powders were selected to fabricate 0–30 vol% SiC reinforced HfB2-based composite. Pressureless sintering process was performed at 2050 °C for 4 h under a vacuum atmosphere. Microstructural studies revealed that in situ SiC reinforcement was formed and distribu...
