Microstructure, Mechanical Characteristics, and Wear Performance of Spark Plasma Sintered TiB-SiN as Affected by BN Doping.

This study aims to analyze the effect of boron nitride (BN) additive (3-6%) on the densification, microstructure, mechanical properties, and wear performance of TiB-15%SiN and TiB-30%SiN sintered composites. When the BN (3%) was added to the TiB-30SiN composite, the density increased to 99.5%, hardness increased to 25.
