Thermite assisted synthesis of ZrB2 and ZrB2–SiC through B4C reduction of ZrO2 and ZrSiO4 in air
Abstract ZrB2 and ZrB2–SiC powders have been produced by reducing ZrO2 and ZrSiO4 with B4C without using any furnace. Magnesium was added to the mixtures of (ZrO2+B4C) and (ZrSiO4+B4C). The reaction has been assisted by a floral thermite packed around the compacts. By introducing elemental Si into (...
