Pressureless Sintering and Mechanical Properties of SiC Composites with in-situ Converted TiO2 to TiC

Densification behaviour and mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness and flexural strength) of the SiC-TiC composite system were studied. Pressureless sintering experiments were conducted on samples containing 0 to 30 vol % TiC created through an in-situ reaction between TiO2 and C: TiO2...
