Abstract
TiB2-SiC-Si ceramic composites were fabricated based on molten silicon infiltration method. The influence of particle size distribution of TiB2 on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TiB2-SiC-Si ceramic composites was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron universal testing machines, etc. The results showed that the composite consisted of TiB2, SiC and Si phases. The microstructure analysis showed that: the content of residual Si could be controlled less than 16 vol.% in the composite by particle size distribution. When the particle size distribution of TiB2 was 42:32:26, the TiB2-SiC-Si composite showed the optimum properties. The open porosity, volume density, Vickers-hardness, flexural strength and fracture toughness were 0.51%, 3.63 g/cm3, 17 GPa, 275 MPa and 5.7 MPa·m1/2, respectively.
