“…Reaction-bonded B4C/SiC ceramic composites were fabricated by infiltrating molten Si into a preheated preform consisting of B4C, α-SiC and C to form a composite of near theoretical density [1]. The 10-15 vol% residual Si, together with other newly formed phases, bond the preexisting B4C and α-SiC to produce a cohesive solid of advanced properties, including light weight (~2.8 g/cm 3 ), high thermal stability, and corrosion resistance, in addition to high mechanical properties such as Young's modulus (~420 GPa) [2,3], resulting in applications for armor, thermal management, wear, and precision equipment.…”

A detailed microstructural investigation was performed to understand structural characteristics of a reaction-bonded B4C/SiC ceramic composite. The state-of-the-art focused ion beam & scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the as-fabricated product consisted of core-rim structures with α-SiC and B4C cores surrounded by β-SiC and B4C, respectively. In addition, plate-like β-SiC was detected within the B4C rim. A phase formation mechanism was proposed and the analytical elucidation is anticipated to shed light on potential fabrication optimization and the property improvement of ceramic composites. * Corresponding author.

A detailed microstructural investigation was performed to understand structural characteristics of a reaction-bonded B$_4$C/SiC ceramic composite. The state-of-the-art focused ion beam & scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the as-fabricated product consisted of core-rim structures with {\alpha}-SiC and $B_4$C cores surrounded by \beta-SiC and $B_4$C, respectively. In addition, plate-like \beta-SiC was detected within the $B_4$C rim. A phase formation mechanism was proposed and the analytical elucidation is anticipated to shed light on potential fabrication optimization and the property improvement of ceramic composites.Comment: 8 pages, TMS201
