摘要
Aluminum borocarbide powders (Al(3)BC(3) and Al(8)B(4)C(7)) were synthesized, and the ternary powders were used as a sintering additive of SiC. The densification of SiC was nearly completed at 1670 degrees C using spark plasma sintering (SPS) and pressureless sintering was possible at 1950 degrees C. The sintering behavior of SiC using the new additive systems was nearly identical with that using the conventional AI-B-C system, but grain growth was suppressed when adding the borocarbides. In addition, oxidation of the fine additive powders did not intensively occur in air, which has been a problem in the case of the AI-B-C system for industrial application. The hardness, Young's modulus and fracture toughness of a sintered SiC specimen were 21.6 GPa, 439 GPa and 4.6 MPa m(1/2), respectively. The ternary borocarbide powders are efficient sintering additives of SiC. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
