Grain size dependence of hardness and fracture toughness in pure near fully-dense boron carbide ceramics

Room temperature fracture toughness and hardness of spark plasma sintered pure B4C ceramics with grain sizes ranging from 120 nm to 17 μm have been studied. Vickers indentation and single edge V-notched beam (SEVNB) techniques have been used to measure hardness and fracture toughness, respectively....
