Sintering Behavior, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties: A Comparison among Pressureless Sintered Ultra-Refractory Carbides
Table 2
Densification data for the samples pressureless sintered at 1950°C/60 min in flowing Ar; Mean grain size of the matrix and mechanical properties of the composites: hardness (HV1.0), Young’s modulus (E), fracture toughness (KIc) by CNB method, and 4-pt flexural strength (σ) at room and high temperature.
