Ceramic Matrix Composites Obtained by the Reactive Sintering of Boron Carbide with Intermetallic Compounds from the Ti-Si System.

In this study, we investigated the effect of adding two different intermetallics, TiSi and TiSi, for the preparation of TiB-SiC-BC composites. As part of the research, stoichiometric composites consisting only of two phases TiB and SiC were obtained. The TiB-SiC-BC composites were prepared via pressureless sintering.
