Title: Process for fabrication of large titanium diboride ceramic bodies

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6717728

A process is disclosed for manufacturing large, fully dense, high purity TiB/sub 2/ articles by pressing powders with a sintering aid at relatively low temperatures to reduce grain growth. The process requires stringent temperature and pressure applications in the hot-pressing step to ensure maximum p of sintering aid and to avoid damage to the fabricated article or the die.
