Abstract
Dense boron carbide bearings with a central through hole were fabricated by hot-press sintering. When the sintering temperature was above the critical grain growth temperature, an increase in the applied pressure at 2100 °C caused a distinct abnormal grain size region. Two grain growth mechanisms were explored; normal grain growth (NGG) is controlled by a grain boundary diffusion mechanism whereas the abnormal grain growth (AGG) pattern abides by the ‘Bose–Einstein’ grain growth law.
