Abstract
Approximately 400 nm grain sized boron–carbon ceramic was synthesized by the pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) method using boron and carbon powders. Relative density of up to 95% was achieved at sintering temperature of 1900 °C. This ceramic was composed with B13C2 as major phase and few B4C and C, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld refinement quantitative analysis and chemical analysis (CA) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The microstructure was also observed via transmission electron microscope (TEM).
