Abstract

The effect of the Al ₂O ₃ additive on the densification behavior, microstructure and mechanical properties of the B ₄C-xwt%Al ₂O ₃ composites sintered by means of spark plasma sintering (SPS) process were investigated. It was found that addition of Al ₂O ₃ improve the sinterability of B4C at temperatures between 1700 and 1800°C remarkably. The composite samples which with an addition of 4 wt% Al ₂O ₃ and sintering at 1750°C exhibits excellent mechanical properties (relative density: 98.82%, hardness: 90.6 HRA).
