摘要
This paper presents the result of investigation carried out on the synthesis, densification and oxidation studies of LaB6. LaB6 was synthesized by boron carbide reduction of La2O3. Effect of temperature on product quality was investigated. Pure LaB6 powder was obtained at 1500 degrees C, in vacuum. Pressureless sintering at 1950 degrees C of LaB6 powder resulted in a density of only 85.1% of the theoretical value. Hot pressing resulted in near theoretical density at the same operating temperature. Hardness and fracture toughness of the dense LaB6 was measured as 20 GPa and 3.02 MPa m(1/2) respectively. Oxidation study by thermogravimetry revealed that oxidation starts slowly at 500 degrees C and accelerates at 700 degrees C. Isothermal oxidation study revealed that protective oxide layer forms on LaB6 surface on oxidation at 900 degrees C. The presence of protective continuous oxide layer on the surface was observed even after 64 h exposure in air atmosphere. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
