“…The EDS spectroscopic analysis depicted that the silicon infiltrated composites were composed primarily of boron, silicon, and carbon, thereby demonstrating that the composites obtained following silicon infiltration comprised boron carbide and silicon carbide along with some content of silicon. It can therefore be assumed that the liquid silicon infiltrated into the interior of the composite and produce silicon carbide upon reaction with boron carbide, according to the following reaction equations [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]: 5 Si + 3 B 4 C = 3 SiC + 2 SiB 6 2 Si + B 4 C = SiC + SiB 4 …”
