Abstract

Dense nanostructured ZrSi2-SiC composite was synthesized by high frequency induction heated combustion synthesis (HFIHCS) method within 1 minute in one step from powders of ZrC and 3Si. Simultaneous combustion synthesis and densification were accomplished under the combined effects of an induced current and mechanical pressure. Highly dense ZrSi2-SiC with relative density of up to 98% were produced under simultaneous application of a 60MPa pressure and the induced current. The average grain size and mechanical properties (hardness and fracture toughness) of the composite were investigated.
