Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A toughened ceramic material includes at least one boride and a refractory metal, or at least two borides, one carbide at least, and a refractory metal. The toughened ceramic material is by means of heating and smelting the above materials. During the process of preparing the toughened ceramic material by heating and smelting, substantially all the refractory metal reacts with the boride and/or the carbide to form a toughened ceramic material with a high toughness and substantially without metallic cemented phase.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A toughened ceramic material, comprising at least one boride and a refractory metal, wherein the boride is selected from the group consisting of TiB 2 , ZrB 2 , NbB 2 , HfB 2 , TaB 2 and W 2 B 5 , the refractory metal is tungsten or tantalum, with the toughened ceramic material prepared by heating and smelting the boride and the refractory metal. 2 . The toughened ceramic material according to claim 1 , wherein when the boride and the refractory material prepared by heating and smelting substantially all the refractory metal reacts with the boride to form a pure ceramic structure substantially without a metallic cemented phase. 3 . The toughened ceramic material according to claim 1 , comprising MB 2 phase, MB phase or/and W 2 B phase. 4 . A toughened ceramic material, comprises two borides at least, one carbide at least, and a refractory metal; wherein the said boride is from the group of TiB 2 and ZrB 2 ; the said carbide is from the group of SiC, B 4 C, TiC, NbC, TaC and WC; and the said refractory metal is tungsten, with a toughened ceramic material being prepared by smelting the boride, the carbide and the refractory metal together. 5 . The toughened ceramic material according to claim 4 , wherein when the boride, the carbide and the refractory metal are heated and smelted, substantially all the refractory metal reacts with the boride and/or the carbide to form a pure ceramic structure substantially without any metallic cemented phase. 6 . The toughened ceramic material according to claim 4 , comprising MB 2 phase, MC phase, MB phase or/and W 2 B phase.
