The effect of SiC content (10 vol%, 20 vol% and 30 vol%) and sintering temperature (1800 °C, 1900 °C and 2000 °C) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high entropy boride-silicon carbide (HEB-SiC) composites were systematically investigated in this work. The densification was gradually increased with the increase of SiC content and sintering temperature. More specially, the densification of HEB-30 vol% SiC composite obtained at 2000 °C was as high as 99.1 %. As for the mechanical properties, the dense HEB-30S-2000 composite possessed the highest fracture toughness (5.24 MPa m1/2) and Vickers hardness (28.5 GPa). The above significantly enhanced fracture toughness was closely pertained to the fracture modes adjusting. In details, after the addition of SiC, the branching and bridging of crack, the rupture of large SiC grain, and the deflection of crack existing near the HBE matrix and SiC particles jointly promote the improvement of fracture toughness. Besides, the Vickers hardness increased linearly with the relative density increasing. A simplified equation was established, which could effectually reflect the linear connection between the Vicker hardness and relative density (SiC content) of HEB-SiC composites. It will certainly play an important guiding role in the further development of HEB-SiC composites.
