Processing-Structure Relationships of Reactive Spark Plasma Sintered Diamond Composites
Description:
Traditional lightweight armor ceramics such as boron carbide (B4C) and silicon carbide (SiC) are used alone or together in varying amounts to create monolithic protective plates. These materials exhibit relatively small differences in hardness, flexure strength, and fracture toughness. Many of the routes taken during the synthesis of the powder and sintering of the plates using traditional ceramic processing techniques have long processing times, tend to leave asperities within the microstruc…
