In order to improve the heat stubility of B/sub 4/C (a hard, erosion resistant material), an attempt was made to combine it with other hand materials by grinding the components and forming a eutectic crystal stnncture. Highmeiting, oxidation resistant TiB/sub 2/ and the double boride at temperatures up to 2400 tained C; and the microhardness, phase structure, and oxidation resistance were determined. X-ray diffraction studies revealed the mutual solubility of the components. Oxidation resistance testing in air at 1200 tained C for 100 hours showed a reduced oxidation for mixtures conthining 20 to 700 B/sub 4/C. Best results were obtained with compacts having equivalent volume ratios of the components; a protective oxide layer is formed and grain growth is inhibited. Similar results were obtained with the double bcride (Ti,Cr)B/sub 2/. Although complex borides had a higher oxidation resistance, they are recommended only for short-term applications at elevated temperatures in air. (TTT)
