Study on boron carbide-aluminum composite by vacuum-pressure infiltration

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A boron carbide-aluminum composite was produced by vacuum-pressure infiltration process. Aluminum can be infiltrated into boron carbide preforms at lower temperature to avoid producing brittle intermediate phase during infiltration process. B4C/A1 composite has density higher than 98% theoretic density, bending strength of 360-420 MPa and fracture toughness of 10-11 MPa·m1/2.
