Processing and microstructure of ZrB2–SiC composite prepared by reactive spark plasma sintering

In-situ formation of ZrB2–SiC composites was investigated by reactive spark plasma sintering of precursor powders according to the reaction B4C + 2ZrC + 3Si → 3SiC + 2ZrB2. The reaction and process presented here involves a diffusion reaction between B4C and ZrC which facilitates the formation of Zr...
