Abstract
Silicon was infiltrated into B4C preforms to fabricate B4C based composites ceramics at 1600 °C under vacuum circumstance. In this paper, silicon infiltration process was discussed by theoretical calculation. The volume expansion caused by reactions between silicon and boron carbide was about 89.1% from the calculation. In our study, the maximum density of B4C preform for the infiltration of silicon was about 1.5g/cm3 which was larger than theoretical result. The results of mechanical behavior showed that B4C based composites had excellent mechanical properties with a density lower than 2.6g/cm3, Vickers-hardness of this material was 27.2GPa, and this material showed a flexural strength of 349MPa and fracture toughness of 3.8 MPa*m1/2.
