Planar shock compression of spark plasma sintered B4C and B4C–TiB2 ceramic composites

Blending of ceramic constituent phases enhances sinterability and performance in high strength ceramics. Here, a near fully dense blended boron carbide (B4C)–titanium diboride (TiB2) composite produced through spark plasma sintering (SPS) is probed to understand the mechanical performance under dyna...
