The sintering of combustion-synthesized titanium diboride

Effects of TaB2 and TiB2 on the grain growth behavior and kinetics of HfB2 ceramics during pressureless sintering

“…In the present work, the value of grain growth exponent n with high correlation coefficients for HB, HBTa5, and HBTi5 was determined to be 3. Therefore, the grain growth in the observed temperature interval followed the parabolic law G 3 , indicating that volume diffusion was dominant growth rate‐controlling mechanism during the process of pressureless sintering of HfB 2 , which was consistent with earlier reports for the sintering of transition‐metal diborides …”

Effect of carbon and titanium carbide on sintering behaviour of zirconium diboride

“…For bulk applications, loosely packed compacts need to be sintered and fabrication of monolithic zirconium diboride by sintering technique is difficult due to its high melting temperature and covalent bonding. Most often ZrB 2 is sintered at 2000-2200 • C [3][4][5] and the pressureless sintering studies are very limited. One of the crucial problems faced during sintering of borides is the * Corresponding author.…”

Properties of Al/TiNi composite using porous TiNi fabricated by a self-propagating high temperature synthesis method

“…The potential advantages of this process include the following: rapid synthesis; self-heating; energy saving; selfpurification due to enhanced impurity out-gassing; near-netshape fabrication, various pore size control [16]. The compounds synthesized are being considered for use as electronic materials, and materials resistant to wear [17], corrosion, and heat.…”
