Abstract

High temperature flexural and oxidation behavior of hot-pressed B4C-ZrB2 ceramics with various ZrB2 addition amounts was measured and analyzed in the temperature range of 1000 to 1600°C in ambient air atmosphere. The high temperature flexural strength is a strong function of temperature. With the temperature increasing, the high temperature flexural strength decreases. The oxidation behavior was investigated in detail, and the oxidation mechanism was summarized. The purpose of this study is to give fundamental understanding of the high temperature behavior of B4C based ceramics.
