摘要
Toughened ZrB2-SiC composites have been prepared by an introduction of amorphous carbon spheres. After hot pressing, microstructure observation showed that the carbon phases were present in the form of thin layer at grain boundaries, or in the form of agglomerates at the multigrain junctions. The carbon spheres led to significant improvement of fracture toughness from 4.96 +/- 0.46 MPa m(1/2) to 7.52 +/- 0.19 MPa m(1/2). The toughening mechanism was attributed to the weak interfaces, which occurred due to the presence of carbon layer formed at grain boundaries after sintering.(C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
