Abstract

The effect of different с-BN and с-ZrO2 ratios on the phase composition, microstructure, relative density, open porosity, linear shrinkage, physicomechanical properties, and linear correlation of the elastic modulus and toughness of samples during plasma-spark sintering at pressing load 70 MPa in the range of 1200‒1600 °C is shown. The synthesized powders of TiC, c-BN and c-ZrO2, sintered at 1400 °C by the plasma-spark method, are characterized by intense crystallization of the phases. Sintered samples with different ratios of c-BN and c-ZrO2 show the intensive development of mullite and TiC. An increase in the c-BN / c-ZrO2 ratio promotes an active increase in c-BN and a less intensive increase in с-ZrO2 in the range of 1200‒1600 °C, and it causes the formation of a less uniform and densely sintered crystalline microstructure with a large number of pores at 1500 °C. This sample has lower values of physical and mechanical properties and a lower linear correlation of the modulus of elasticity and toughness in the range of 1200‒1600 °C and lower crack resistance at 1500 °C. Ill. 9. Ref. 13. Tab. 1.
