Description

This paper presents the results of investigation carried out on densification and properties of HfB2 based materials. Densification study of HfB2 with and without sinter additive was carried out by hot pressing. TiSi2 and CrSi2 were used as sinter additive. Monolithic HfB2 was densified to only 80%ρth at 1850 deg C with a pressure of 35 MPa. Addition of 10 wt% TiSi2 resulted in a density of 95% TD at a relatively low temperature of 1650 deg C and a low pressure of 20 MPa. Addition of 10% CrSi2 resulted in a density of 99% TD at the same operating conditions. All the samples were characterized by SEM/EDS and mechanical property measurement. (author)
