Abstract

ZrB₂/Mo composites with various volume fractions of Mo (0-10%) were prepared by a hot-pressing process at 1950 °C. The addition of Mo both facilitated the densification and improved the mechanical properties of the ZrB₂/Mo composites. Compared with the pure ZrB₂ ceramics, the fracture toughness of the ZrB₂/Mo (10%) composite increased from 4.52 to 7.98 MPa m^1/2 and its bending strength increased from 424 to 450 MPa. The enhancement in mechanical properties of the ZrB₂/Mo composites could be attributed to the reduced grains and the MoB phase formed in the reaction between ZrB₂ and Mo.
