Abstract

ZrB2–SiC–BN composites were fabricated from a powder mixture of ZrH2, Si3N4 and B4C via reactive hot pressing (RHP) and reactive spark plasma sintering (R-SPS). The phase composition, density, microstructure and mechanical properties of the final products were studied and compared. The sample fabricated by the R-SPS process showed higher density, flexural strength and fracture toughness and had a more homogeneous microstructure compared to the one fabricated by the RHP process.
