Improving the Fracture Toughness of Boron Carbide via Minor Additions of SiC and TiB₂ Through Hot-Press Sintering.

First, the Vickers hardness of the composites shows a decreasing trend with the increase in SiC content, dropping from 34.8 to 29.9 GPa when the amount of additional SiC reaches 10 wt% ( Figure 2 a).
