Abstract High-entropy boride-silicon carbide (HEB-SiC) ceramics were fabricated by using boride-based powders prepared from borothermal and boro/carbothermal reduction methods. The effects of processing routes (borothermal reduction and boro/carbothermal reduction) of HEB powders were examined. HEB-SiC ceramics with nearly relatively full density (>98%) were prepared by spark plasma sintering at 2000oC. It was demonstrated that the addition of SiC led to slightly coarsening of the microstructure. The HEB-SiC ceramics prepared from boro/carbothermal reduction powders showed the fine-grained microstructure and higher Vickers’ hardness but lower fracture toughness values as compared with the same composition prepared from borothermal reduction powders. These results indicated that the selection of the powder processing method and the addition of SiC phase could contribute to the optimal preparation of high-entropy boride-based ceramics.

Abstract High-entropy boride-silicon carbide (HEB-SiC) ceramics were fabricated by using boride-based powders prepared from borothermal and boro/carbothermal reduction methods. The effects of processing routes of HEB powders were examined between borothermal reduction and boro/carbothermal reduction. HEB-SiC ceramics with nearly relatively full density (>98%) were prepared after spark plasma sintering at 2000oC. It was demonstrated that the addition of SiC led to the slightly microstructure coarsening. The HEB-SiC ceramics prepared from boro/carbothermal reduction powders showed the fine-grained microstructure and higher Vickers’ hardness but lower fracture toughness values as compared with the same composition prepared from borothermal reduction powders. These results indicated that the selection of the powder processing method and the addition of SiC phase could contribute to the optimal preparation of high-entropy boride based ceramics.

Abstract High-entropy boride-silicon carbide (HEB-SiC) ceramics were fabricated using boride-based powders prepared from borothermal and boro/carbothermal reduction methods. The effects of processing routes (borothermal reduction and boro/carbothermal reduction) on the HEB powders were examined. HEB-SiC ceramics with > 98% theoretical density were prepared by spark plasma sintering at 2000 °C. It was demonstrated that the addition of SiC led to slight coarsening of the microstructure. The HEB-SiC ceramics prepared from boro/carbothermal reduction powders showed a fine-grained microstructure and higher Vickers’ hardness but lower fracture toughness value as compared with the same composition prepared from borothermal reduction powders.

The elemental constituents, phase composition and substructural evolution were investigated in the article in the silicon carbide ceramics surface layer which was subjected to the intense pulsed electron beam the density of the electron beam being varied. It was shown that the ceramic layer surface's structure and phase conditions were controlled by the electron beam characteristics. The SiC-ceramics surface layer nanostructuring was detected and the electron beam treatment conditions which lead to this effect were defined.

SiC ceramics were fabricated from submicron- and nano-sized starting powders with Y2O3 and AlN additives by SPS process. The SPS process and the use of AlN additive were found to be effective for achieving the nano-grained microstructure with retarded grain growth. The nanoporous SiC ceramics were also obtained under the similar conditions. The optimum heating schedule and additive composition were proposed.

There has been a great progress in the development of heat-resistant silicon carbide ceramics, owing to the better understanding of composition-microstructure-properties relations. Based on the progress, it has been possible to fabricate heat-resistant SiC ceramics with improved fracture toughness. In this paper, three rare-earth oxides (Re2O3, Re=Er, Lu, and Sc) in combination with AlN were used as sintering additives for a β-SiC containing 1 vol% α-SiC seeds. The effect of intergranular phase, using Re2O3 and AlN as sintering additives, on the microstructure and mechanical properties of liquid-phasesintered, and subsequently annealed SiC ceramics were investigated. The microstructure and mechanical properties were strongly influenced by the sintering additive composition, which determines the chemistry and structure of IGP. The strength and fracture toughness of the Lu2O3-doped SiC were ∼700 MPa at 1400oC and ∼6 MPa.m1/2 at room temperature, respectively. The beneficial effect of the new additive compositions on high-temperature strength was attributed to the crystallization of the intergranular phase.
