Boron carbide particles formed from an amorphous boron/graphite powder mixture using a shock-wave technique
Description
Boron carbide (B4C) particles with filamental, distorted ellipsoidal, platelike, and polyhedral shapes were formed from vapor generated from an amorphous boron/graphite powder mixture with 14% starting density using a cylindrical shock-wave technique. The crystal phases of shocked compact and microstructures of the B4C particles were characterized by X-ray diffractometry and electron microscopy, respectively
