Influence of Mechanical and Electric Current Activation on the Mechanism of Formation and the Properties of Bulk B<sub>4</sub>C-TiB<sub>2</sub> Composites Obtained by Reactive Sintering

The preparation of dense nanostructured B4C-TiB2 is investigated through the combination of mechanical (Ball Milling) and electric current (Spark Plasma Sintering or SPS) activation of Ti, B and graphite powders. The full conversion of 8h milled reactants is obtained at much lower temperature (about...
