Recent progress in B4C–SiC composite ceramics: processing, microstructure, and mechanical properties

Abstract

B4C–SiC composite ceramics are a very promising alternative to pure B4C ceramics and pure SiC ceramics. B4C–SiC composite ceramics exhibit a combination of the desirable performance of B4C and SiC. B4C–SiC composite ceramics are a better candidate material for engineering applications as structural ceramic materials. The sintering performance, microstructure, and mechanical properties of B4C–SiC composite ceramics are systematically elaborated in this review. Many factors can affect the sintering performance and microstructure of B4C–SiC composite ceramics; also, the microstructure plays an important role in the mechanical properties of B4C–SiC composite ceramics. The mechanical properties of B4C–SiC composite ceramics are crucial for their applications. Finally, the future development trend of B4C–SiC composite ceramics as structural ceramic materials is proposed.
