Abstract
Boride ceramics are useful materials because of their high strengths, hardness and melting points, which allow them to be used as high-temperature structural materials. In this study, sintered bodies of a solid solution of ZrB2–TiB2 system were prepared using hot pressing (HP) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The sintering behavior was evaluated, and the effect of pulverization on sinterability and reactivity was examined using a Nanomizer. The combination of SPS processing at 2200 °C and pulverization yielded a nearly single-phase Zr0.5Ti0.5B2 solid solution having a relative density of 95%.
