Abstract
In this study, HfB2–SiC composites including of micron, submicron and nano-sized silicon carbide powder have been fabricated using spark plasma sintering at 1900°C for 10 min. Densification, microstructure, mechanical and oxidation behavior of prepared composites have been investigated. Oxidation resistance of composites has been studied at 1450°C for 32 h. Weight changes and the thickness of formed oxide layer has bee measured. By adding of finer SiC, the grain size of HfB2 decreased and highest relative density (99.84%) and lowest apparent porosity (0.13%) have been obtained for HfB2–SiC nanocomposite. The results show that hardness, strength, and toughness increased from 19.04 to 24.28 GPa, 405.16 to 524.88 MPa and 4.43 to 4.64 MPa m1/2, respectively, by decreasing SiC particle sizes. In addition, the results have shown that thickness of glass layer decreased when SiC particle sizes. Therefore, the oxidation resistance has been enhanced by refinement of microstructure due to nano-sized SiC powders.
