TiB2-B4C-Fe3(C, B) Composite Synthesized by Plasma Heating

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2014.13378

Abstract

Abstract: TiB₂-B₄C-Fe₃(C, B) composites were prepared by plasma heating synthesis with Ti, B₄C and Fe powders as raw materials. Effects of plasma current on phase composition, microstructure and hardness of the final composites were studied. The results show that the final composites are composed of TiB₂, B₄C and Fe₃(C, B). Because of fast heating and cooling during the plasma heating synthesis and directional heat releasing, plate-like TiB₂ grains grow along the fastest heat releasing direction. TiB₂ plates and white Fe₃(C, B) are alternating distribution while the unreacted B₄C grains are packed into gaps. Plasma current affects the heat which inputted into the sample in unit time. Hence, increasing current is conducive to the growth of TiB₂, but decrease the hardness of the composites.

Key words: TiB₂-B₄C-Fe₃(C, B) composite, plasma, microstructure, reaction synthesis
